Summary
The pig is classed as najis mughallazah together with the dog, and all its parts, including hair, flesh, bones and skin, are impure even if slaughtered. The fatwa notes an opinion that the pig is only najis mutawasittah, but holds the first view to be stronger. Purification requires seven washes, one of them with water mixed with earth, using absolute water that is not used (mustakmal) and earth that is free of impurity and not used for tayammum.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Najis mughallazah ialah najis jenis yang berat iaitu anjing dan babi.
