اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْز۪يرِ وَمَٓا اُهِلَّ بِه۪ لِغَيْرِ اللّٰهِۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَٓا اِثْمَ عَلَيْهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ رَح۪يمٌ ۝١٧٣

173Allah has forbidden you only carrion, blood, pork, and what has been slaughtered in the name of anyone other than Allah. But whoever is compelled by necessity, without being unrestrained or going to excess, commits no sin in eating of these. Surely Allah is matchless in forgiveness and possesses infinite mercy.
