Answer

The Arabic word for pig, Khinzeer, is in the Qur?aan which comprises of five Arabic alphabets. If a person recites the Qur?aan and comes across the word, Khinzeer, he will acquire a minimum of fifty rewards.

Even the names of arch-enemies of Allah, Fir?awn and Haaman, are mentioned in the Qur?aan. A person will not lose his Imaan by uttering the word pig. However, the word should not be used in a vulgar context.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
