I was watching India v Pakistan with a few of my friends. One of them was from Sri Lanka, many from India, and one or two from Pakistan. We were having a great time watching the game, and decided we'd order a couple of pizzas.
My Sri Lankan friend is a Muslim and asked for a chicken pizza. Unfortunately instead of putitng chicken slices on the pizza, they put bacon on the pizza. However, at first glance it wasn't easy to detect. She was half way through the pizza when she realized she'd eaten pork.
She was increidbly upset about having eaten the pork. So much so that when she complained to the pizza shop she couldn't bring herself to talk, instead relying on a Napalese friend of ours to do the job and tell the guy off.
What really incensed her was when the pizza guys suggested that their pork was halel. I was later told that pork can never be halal, or something like that.
Anyway she's a friend of mine, and pretty upset about the whole thing. Can I ask:
In Islam what's the reprocussions of eating pork? I mean my friend knows she didn't do it on purpose, so I don't think she feels any reprocussions from eating the pork, but she's really upset and disappointed that she did.
