Why don't Hui people eat pork?

China is a big family of 56 ethnic groups, and different ethnic groups have different eating habits. Among the Muslim Hui people, there is a custom of not eating pork, but why don't Hui people eat pork? People don't know the reason. Today, I will introduce it in detail so that everyone can learn more about the customs of the Hui people.

Why don't Hui people eat pork?

1. Hui people do not eat pork because of their faith, because Hui people believe in Islam and are Muslims, and all Muslims will obey the orders of Allah. It is said that Allah has issued a ban to his followers, that all Muslims can eat the food given to them by Allah, and that they are forbidden to eat pork and dead animals. This knowledge is clearly recorded in the Koran.

2. Hui people do not eat pork because of their faith and loyalty to Allah. In the hearts of all Hui people, Allah is merciful to their genealogy, and they will absolutely execute Allah's prohibitions. Therefore, after Allah issued a prohibition prohibiting them from eating pork, they passed it down from generation to generation, and Hui people still do not eat pork until now.

3. There is another different theory about why Hui people do not eat pork. It is said that during the wars in ancient times, pigs once saved the lives of their ancestors, helping them escape the enemy's encirclement. Since then, Hui people have developed the habit of not eating pork, and this habit has been passed down for hundreds of years to the present.

4. The Hui people's refusal to eat pork is directly related to their religious culture. Thousands of years ago, Islam had banned and disliked pigs. They believed that pigs were unclean creatures and symbols of laziness and stupidity. In addition, Islam believed that the areas where pigs live are filthy and even the feed they eat is dirty, so its followers are not allowed to eat such unclean food.
