Question

Please advise if it is permissible for a Muslim to use the same microwave at work where other non-Muslim staff use it to reheat haraam food which may include pork in some instances?

Answer

Yes, as long as you are sure that your food will not be contaminated in any way.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
