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

He hath only forbidden you Dead meat, and blood, And the flesh of swine, And that on which Any other name hath been invoked Besides that of God. But if one is forced by necessity, Without wilful disobedience, Nor transgressing due limits,— Then is he guiltless. For God is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful.
