Forbidden to you (for food) is that which dies of itself (carrion), and blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns-and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal-unless you are able to slaughter it (before its death) –and that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on stones set up (for idols) and that you divide by the arrows (that you settle matters with gambling-arrows); (all) that is a Fısk [not to be in the Way of Allah or to have gone out of it (transgression)]. This day, those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion (as they could not turn you back of it), so do not fear them, and fear Me. This day, I have perfected for you your religion and completed My Blessing on you and agreed for you to Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled (to eat) by severe hunger, not inclining wilfully to sin, then surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
