Thus doth Allah make clear to you (His law), lest ye err. And Allah hath knowledge of all things.

5:1
O ye who believe! fulfil (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 Allah doth
command according to His will and plan.
5:2
O ye who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the symbols of Allah, nor of the sacred month, nor of the animals brought
for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals, nor the people resorting to the sacred house, seeking of the
bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim garb, ye may hunt
and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and
hostility on your part). Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour:
fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment.
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 Allah; 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, Allah 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 Allah: eat what they catch for you, but
pronounce the name of Allah over it: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in taking account.
