The third verse of chapter 5 (sūrat l-māidah) (The Table spread with Food)
Forbidden to you (as food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,
and that on which any other name than that of Allah has been
invoked (Puja Food - Prasadam ETC); that which hath been killed by
strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being
gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a... wild animal;
unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is
sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat)
by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who
reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but
fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My
favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if
any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression (not by
will, to sin), Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
