Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything]
forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood
spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be
[that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah . But
whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing
[its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof; and
of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what
adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone. [By]
that We repaid them for their injustice. And indeed, We are truthful.
So if they deny you, [O Muhammad], say, "Your Lord is the possessor of
vast mercy; but His punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are
criminals."
Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed, we would
not have associated [anything] and neither would our fathers, nor would we
have prohibited anything." Likewise did those before deny until they
tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can
produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but
falsifying."
Say, [O Muhammad], "Bring forward your witnesses who will testify that
Allah has prohibited this." And if they testify, do not testify with them.
And do not follow the desires of those who deny Our verses and those who
do not believe in the Hereafter, while they equate [others] with their
Lord.
