Surely, those who fabricate lies and attribute them to GOD will never succeed.\\n[2:172] O you who believe, eat from the good things we provided for you, and be thankful to GOD, if you do worship Him alone. [2:173] He only prohibits for you the eating of animals that die of themselves (without human interference), blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. If one is forced (to eat these), without being malicious or deliberate, he incurs no sin. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.\\n[16:115] He only prohibits for you dead animals, blood, the meat of pigs, and food which is dedicated to other than GOD. If one is forced (to eat these), without being deliberate or malicious, then GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.\\n[6:145] Say, "I do not find in the revelations (wahy) given to me any food that is prohibited for any eater except: \\ncarrion, \\nrunning blood (\\u0645\\u064e\\u0633\\u0652\\u0641\\u064f\\u0648\\u062d\\u064b\\u0627 (masf\\u016b\\u1e25an) = poured forth), \\nthe meat (\\u0648\\u064e\\u0644\\u064e\\u062d\\u0652\\u0645\\u064f) of pigs, for it is contaminated, and \\nthe meat of animals blasphemously dedicated to other than GOD." \\nIf one is forced (to eat these), without being deliberate or malicious, then your Lord is Forgiver, Most Merciful.\\nCarrion\\n[5:3] Prohibited for you are animals that die of themselves, blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. (Animals that die of themselves include those) strangled, struck with an object, fallen from a height, gored, attacked by a wild animal\\u2014unless you save your animal before it dies \\u0630\\u064e\\u0643\\u0651\\u064e\\u064a\\u0652\\u062a\\u064f\\u0645\\u0652 (dhakkaytum = you made fit for food / you slaughtered for food) \\u2014and animals sacrificed (\\u0630\\u064f\\u0628\\u0650\\u062d\\u064e) on altars. Also prohibited is dividing the meat through a game of chance; this is an abomination. Today, the disbelievers have given up concerning (the eradication of) your religion; do not fear them and fear Me instead. Today, I have completed your religion, perfected My blessing upon you, and I have decreed Submission as the religion for you. If one is forced by famine (to eat prohibited food), without being deliberately sinful, then GOD is Forgiver, Merciful.\\n\\u0630\\u064f\\u0628\\u0650\\u062d\\u064e = dhubi\\u1e25a = sacrificed without the intention of it being food\\n2:49, 14:6, 28:4 - Children of Israel\\n27:21 - Solomon to the Hoopoe \\n37:102,107 - Abraham and Ishmael\\nMeat vs. the Fat\\n[6:146] For those who are Jewish we prohibited animals with undivided hoofs; and of the cattle and sheep we prohibited the fat, except that which is carried on their backs, or in the viscera, or mixed with bones. That was a retribution for their transgressions, and we are truthful.\\n4.

It is the disbelievers who invented such lies about GOD. Most of them do not understand.\\nDon\\u2019t give powers to the idol worshipers and their innovations \\nThe action is prohibited not the food itself\\nDividing the meat through a game of chance. \\n[6:138] They said, "These are livestock and crops that are prohibited; no one shall eat them except whomever we permit," so they claimed.
