Regulations of Permissible and Non-Permissible
Food: [49]
[2:173] He hath only forbidden you dead
meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath
been invoked besides that of God. But if one is forced by necessity, without
wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless. For
God is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
--------------------
[5:1] O ye who believe! Fulfill (all)
obligations. Lawful unto you (for food) are all four-footed animals, with the
exceptions named: But animals of the chase are forbidden while ye are in the
sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb: For God doth command according to His will
and plan.
[5:3] Forbidden to you (for food) are: Dead meat, blood, the flesh of
swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than God; that
which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong
fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild
animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is
sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by
raffling with arrows: That is impiety. This day have those who reject faith
given up all hope of your religion: Yet fear them not but fear Me. This day
have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have
chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no
inclination to transgression, God is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[5:4] They ask thee what is lawful to them
(as food). Say: Lawful unto you are (all) things good and pure: And what ye
have taught your trained hunting animals (to catch) in the manner directed to
you by God: Eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the Name of God over it:
And fear God; for God is swift in taking account.
[5:5] This day are (all) things good and
pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto
you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only)
chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book,
revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire
chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues. If any one rejects faith, fruitless
is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have
lost (all spiritual good).
[5:87] O ye who believe! Make not unlawful the good
things which God hath made lawful for you, but commit no excess: For God loveth not those given to excess.
--------------------
[6:145] Say: "I find not in the
message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one
who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the
flesh of swine,- for it is an abomination - or, what is impious, (meat) on
which a name has been invoked, other than God's". But (even so), if a
person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing
due limits,- thy Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[6:146] For those who followed the Jewish
Law, We forbade every (animal) with undivided hoof, and We forbade them that
fat of the ox and the sheep, except what adheres to their backs or their
entrails, or is mixed up with a bone: This in recompense for their wilful disobedience:
For We are true (in Our ordinances).
--------------------
[16:116] But say not - for any false thing that your
tongues may put forth,- "This is lawful, and this
is forbidden," so as to ascribe false things to God. For
those who ascribe false things to God, will never prosper.
[16:117] (In such falsehood) is but a paltry profit;
but they will have a most grievous Penalty.
