animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, - and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for
others than Allah (or has been slaughtered - for idols, on which Allah's name has not been
mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is - forced by necessity without willful disobedience
nor transgressing due limits, then there is - no sin on him. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. - Surah Al-Baqarah -173
- Tafseer
- (V. 2172) Narrated An-Numan bin Bashir (RTA)
- I heard Allahs Messenger (SAW) saying, Both
legal and illegal things are evident but in - between them there are doubtful (unclear) things,
and most of the people have no - knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself
from these unclear things, he saves his - religion and his honour. And whoever indulges in
these unclear things is like a shepherd
