O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or [the
sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial
animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to
the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But
when you come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred
of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram lead you to
transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate
in sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in
penalty.
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that
which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed
by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring
of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you
[are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed
on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through
divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve
have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear
Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor
upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is
forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is
Forgiving and Merciful.
They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say,
"Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have
trained of hunting animals which you train as Allah has taught you. So eat
of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah upon it, and
fear Allah ." Indeed, Allah is swift in account.
This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who
were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for
them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers
and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you,
when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not
unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies
the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will
be among the losers.
