[5:3]
Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and
blood and swineflesh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than
Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through
falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of)
horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by
the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. And
(forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This is an abomination.
This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I
perfected your religion for you and completed My
favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced
by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.
[5:4]
They ask thee (O Muhammad) what is made lawful
for them. Say: (all) good things are made lawful for you. And those beasts and
birds of prey which ye have trained as hounds are trained, ye teach them that
which Allah taught you; so eat of that which they catch for you and mention
Allah’s name upon it, and observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is swift to
take account.
[5:5]
This day are (all) good things made lawful for
you. The food of those who have received the Scripture is lawful for you, and
your food is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers
and the virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful
for you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in
honour, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso denieth
the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter.
