Accidently Ate Pork?

[miizcamel]

Salam Alakium!
I am a convert here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a question!


If someone was to accidently eat pork what would we have to do?
Someone told me that you should eat a teaspoon of honey, another friend says there is a Dua'a.

I recently was on Yahoo Answers and a person asked " what happens if a Muslim accidently eats pork "

it will be good to know so we could tell people who are curious.


Thank you!

Related-ish question

What you have mentioned in your question – that you may eat something haraam without realizing – is not something for which you will be punished. As long as you are going to do your best to avoid what Allaah has prohibited – which is what you have indicated in your question – then there is no sin on you. Even if a person does commit a haraam deed, Islam still offers a way out from every sin, in the form of repentance, remorse, determination not to repeat the sin, and seeking forgiveness from Allaah. This guarantees that the sin will be erased. So go ahead with determination, and do not hesitate. Allaah will be with you and will not let you down so long as you are following the religion with which He is pleased. May Allaah help you and keep you on the Straight Path. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad..

AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. (Surah 4, Verse 17). :thumbs_up

Brother you cant say how much u can slice of it or not. That is beyond the first post. The first poster asked what they should do if they accidently ate it without knowing, not how much they should eat if nothing else is available.
