انما حرم عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير وما اهل لغير الله به فمن اضطر غير باغ ولا عاد فان الله غفور رحيم

He has only forbidden you Dead meat, and blood, And the flesh of swine, And any (food) over which The name of other than God Has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, Without wilful disobedience, Nor transgressing due limits,— Then God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
