Is pork sold in Mecca?

Published in Islamic Law 1 min read

No, pork is not sold in Mecca.

As Mecca is the holiest city in Islam, Islamic dietary laws are strictly enforced. These laws, derived from the Quran, prohibit the consumption of pork. This prohibition extends to the sale and distribution of pork products within Mecca and throughout Saudi Arabia. The reference text explicitly states that Islamic dietary laws forbidding the eating of pork are enforced throughout Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, the sale of pork in Mecca would be a direct violation of these religious laws.
