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 God; 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 hav e 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, w ith no inclination to transgression, God is
indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
