Milk and Meat of Non-Kosher Animal Species


Is cooking milk with the meat of non-kosher animal species the same problem as cooking milk with the meat of kosher animal species?


In other words: can a Jew cook milk with a non-kosher animal species, such as a pig (and not eat it)? Can a Jew obtain benefit (הנאה) from such mixtures?



Answer




Shulchan Aruch, YD 87:3:



אינו נוהג אלא בבשר בהמה טהורה בחלב בהמה טהורה אבל בשר טהורה בחלב טמאה או בשר טמאה בחלב טהורה מותרים בבישול ובהנאה


"[The prohibition] is only relevant with regards to meat from a kosher animal in milk from a kosher animal, but with regards to meat from a kosher animal in milk from a non-kosher animal or meat from a non-kosher animal in milk from a kosher animal, they are permitted to cook and to derive benefit from."
