وَجَعَلوا لِلَّهِ مِمّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الحَرثِ وَالأَنعامِ نَصيبًا فَقالوا هـٰذا لِلَّهِ بِزَعمِهِم وَهـٰذا لِشُرَكائِنا ۖ فَما كانَ لِشُرَكائِهِم فَلا يَصِلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَما كانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلىٰ شُرَكائِهِم ۗ ساءَ ما يَحكُمونَ

They assign for God a portion of the crops and livestock that He originated, saying, “This is for God,” so they claim, and “This is for our partners.” But what’s designated for their partners doesn’t reach God, while what’s designated for God does reach their partners. Bad indeed is their judgment.

وَكَذٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثيرٍ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ قَتلَ أَولادِهِم شُرَكاؤُهُم لِيُردوهُم وَلِيَلبِسوا عَلَيهِم دينَهُم ۖ وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما فَعَلوهُ ۖ فَذَرهُم وَما يَفتَرونَ

And thus, many of the idolaters have been led by their partners to kill their children, bringing about their ruin and causing confusion in their religion. If God had willed, they wouldn’t have done it. So leave them and what they fabricate.

وَقالوا هـٰذِهِ أَنعامٌ وَحَرثٌ حِجرٌ لا يَطعَمُها إِلّا مَن نَشاءُ بِزَعمِهِم وَأَنعامٌ حُرِّمَت ظُهورُها وَأَنعامٌ لا يَذكُرونَ اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهَا افتِراءً عَلَيهِ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم بِما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

They also assert, “These livestock and crops are sanctified; none may eat from except those we allow,” so they claim, and certain animals they deem forbidden to ride. And some animals on which they don’t pronounce the name of God, inventing falsehood against Him—He will recompense them for what they’ve been inventing.

وَقالوا ما في بُطونِ هـٰذِهِ الأَنعامِ خالِصَةٌ لِذُكورِنا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلىٰ أَزواجِنا ۖ وَإِن يَكُن مَيتَةً فَهُم فيهِ شُرَكاءُ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم وَصفَهُم ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكيمٌ عَليمٌ

They further allege, “What’s in the womb of these animals is exclusively for our males and is forbidden to our wives.” However, if it’s stillborn, they all share in it. He will recompense them for their allegation. He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

قَد خَسِرَ الَّذينَ قَتَلوا أَولادَهُم سَفَهًا بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ وَحَرَّموا ما رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ افتِراءً عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ قَد ضَلّوا وَما كانوا مُهتَدينَ

Those who killed their children have suffered loss, without knowledge, and forbid what God provided for them, fabricating lies against God. They strayed and weren’t guided.

وَمِنَ الأَنعامِ حَمولَةً وَفَرشًا ۚ كُلوا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَلا تَتَّبِعوا خُطُواتِ الشَّيطانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُم عَدُوٌّ مُبينٌ

Livestock serves as a means of transportation and a source of materials. Consume what God provided for you, and don’t follow Satan’s footsteps; he is a clear enemy to you.

ثَمانِيَةَ أَزواجٍ ۖ مِنَ الضَّأنِ اثنَينِ وَمِنَ المَعزِ اثنَينِ ۗ قُل آلذَّكَرَينِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الأُنثَيَينِ أَمَّا اشتَمَلَت عَلَيهِ أَرحامُ الأُنثَيَينِ ۖ نَبِّئوني بِعِلمٍ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Eight pairs: two of sheep and two of goats. Ask, “Did He prohibit the two males, the two females, or what’s carried in the wombs of the two females? Tell me with knowledge, if you are truthful.”

وَمِنَ الإِبِلِ اثنَينِ وَمِنَ البَقَرِ اثنَينِ ۗ قُل آلذَّكَرَينِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الأُنثَيَينِ أَمَّا اشتَمَلَت عَلَيهِ أَرحامُ الأُنثَيَينِ ۖ أَم كُنتُم شُهَداءَ إِذ وَصّاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهـٰذا ۚ فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا لِيُضِلَّ النّاسَ بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الظّالِمينَ

And of camels and cattle, two pairs. Ask, “Did He forbid the two males, the two females, or what the wombs of the two females contain? Were you present when God issued these prohibitions?” So who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against God, to lead people astray without knowledge? God doesn’t guide the unjust people.

قُل لا أَجِدُ في ما أوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلىٰ طاعِمٍ يَطعَمُهُ إِلّا أَن يَكونَ مَيتَةً أَو دَمًا مَسفوحًا أَو لَحمَ خِنزيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجسٌ أَو فِسقًا أُهِلَّ لِغَيرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ ۚ فَمَنِ اضطُرَّ غَيرَ باغٍ وَلا عادٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Say, “In what was revealed to me, I find no food forbidden for consumption, except for carrion, spilled blood, pork—which is unclean—or a sinful offering dedicated to anyone other than God. However, if anyone is compelled by necessity, without willful disobedience or transgression, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.”

وَعَلَى الَّذينَ هادوا حَرَّمنا كُلَّ ذي ظُفُرٍ ۖ وَمِنَ البَقَرِ وَالغَنَمِ حَرَّمنا عَلَيهِم شُحومَهُما إِلّا ما حَمَلَت ظُهورُهُما أَوِ الحَوايا أَو مَا اختَلَطَ بِعَظمٍ ۚ ذٰلِكَ جَزَيناهُم بِبَغيِهِم ۖ وَإِنّا لَصادِقونَ

To those who are Jewish, We prohibited every animal with uncloven hooves; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails, or what’s mixed with bone. Thus, We penalized them for their rebelliousness. We are truthful.
