Eating at a place where pork is served
Question
I have a question regarding cross contamination of non-halal food (pork) with my sandwich. I noticed the person did not change his gloves before preparing my food and he handled pork before it. I had the sandwich anyway and I feel so guilty. What are the general rules I should know regarding this situation and what do I do now that it has happened?
Answer
You should not be eating at such a place where pork or any other haraam is being served.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
