وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تَاْكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ اِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ اِلَيْهِۜ وَاِنَّ كَث۪يرًا لَيُضِلُّونَ بِاَهْوَٓائِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَد۪ينَ ١١٩

English Translation
119Why do you not eat of the animals over which Allah's name has been mentioned, when what is forbidden to you, except in cases of necessity, has been explained to you in detail? Yet many people mislead others in these matters with their own desires and whims, without any knowledge. But your Lord knows best those who overstep the limits (those who claim for themselves the authority to declare things forbidden and lawful).
