Allah has forbidden for you carrion, which is the animal from which life departs without slaughter, and He has forbidden for you spilled, liquid blood, the flesh of swine, and what has been mentioned upon it other than the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, and the strangled [animal] whose breath was trapped until it died, and the beaten [to death] which is that which was hit by a staff or a stone until it died, and the fallen [animal] which is that which fell from a high place or fell into a well and died, and the gored [animal] which is that which another hit with its horn and it died, and Allah has forbidden for you the beast which the predator ate, such as the lion, the leopard, the wolf, and the like. And He-Glorified be He-excepted from what He forbade of the strangled and what is after it that which you reached its slaughter before it died for it is lawful for you, and Allah has forbidden for you what was slaughtered for other than Allah upon what is set up for worship of stone or other than it, and Allah has forbidden for you that you seek the knowledge of what was divided for you or not divided by arrows (Azlam), which are the arrows by which they used to seek division if they intended a matter before they embarked upon it. That which is mentioned in the verse of the forbidden things-if committed-is a departure from the command of Allah and His obedience to His disobedience. Now the greed of the disbelievers from your religion that you apostatize from it to polytheism has been cut off after I helped you over them, so do not fear them and fear Me. Today I have perfected for you your religion, the religion of Islam, by realizing the victory and completing the Sharia, and I have completed My blessing upon you by bringing you out from the darknesses of Jahiliyyah to the light of faith, and I have approved for you Islam as a religion so adhere to it, and do not part from it. Then whoever was forced in a famine to eat carrion, and was not intentionally inclined to sin, then for him is its consumption, for indeed Allah is Forgiving to him, Most Merciful to him.
