Sahih International
He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He has only forbidden you: carrion, that is, the consumption of it, since this is the subject of the general address here, and similarly [the consumption of] what follows, [all of] which is what has not been slaughtered in accordance with [prescriptions of] the Law; to this the Sunna adds [as also constituting carrion] what has been severed from a living creature. A special status is, however, accorded fish and locusts; blood, poured forth, as in [sūrat] al-An‘ām [see Q. 6:145], the flesh of swine, the meat is singled out for mention because that [part] is what people mostly seek, every other [part] being implied thereby; what has been hallowed to other than God, that is to say, what has been slaughtered in other than His Name (al-ihlāl is the raising of one’s voice, which they used to do when sacrificing for their gods). Yet whoever is constrained, forced by dire need to eat of the above-mentioned, not desiring, to rebel against Muslims, nor transgressing, committing aggression against them by waylaying them, no sin shall be on him, for eating it. God is Forgiving, to His friends, Merciful, to those who are obedient to Him, for He has granted them wide berth in this matter. The aggressor and the transgressor are excluded from this [dispensation], and to these two [categories] one should also add every person that sets out on a journey in disobedience, such as the fugitive or the excise collector, for whom it would be unlawful to eat any of the mentioned, unless they repent [of their disobedience]; this is the opinion of al-Shāfi‘ī.
French
Certes, Il vous est interdit la chair d'une bête morte, le sang, la viande de porc et ce sur quoi on a invoqué un autre qu'Allah. Il n'y a pas de péché sur celui qui est contraint sans toutefois abuser ni transgresser, car Allah est Pardonneur et Miséricordieux.
German
Verboten hat Er euch, tote Tiere zu essen, sowie Blut, Schweinefleisch und Tiere, die anderen Gottheiten außer Gott geweiht wurden. Wer aber in der Not davon ißt, ohne zu übertreiben oder eine böse Absicht zu hegen, der bürdet sich keine Schuld auf. Gott ist voller Vergebung und Barmherzigkeit.
Indonesian
Sesungguhnya Allah hanya mengharamkan bagimu bangkai, darah, daging babi, dan binatang yang (ketika disembelih) disebut (nama) selain Allah. Tetapi barangsiapa dalam keadaan terpaksa (memakannya) sedang dia tidak menginginkannya dan tidak (pula) melampaui batas, maka tidak ada dosa baginya. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.
Italian
In verità vi sono state vietate le bestie morte, il sangue, la carne di porco e quello su cui sia stato invocato altro nome che quello di Allah. E chi vi sarà costretto, senza desiderio o intenzione, non farà peccato. Allah è perdonatore, misericordioso.
Malay
Sesungguhnya Allah hanya mengharamkan kepada kamu memakan bangkai, dan darah, dan daging babi, dan binatang-binatang yang disembelih tidak kerana Allah maka sesiapa terpaksa (memakannya kerana darurat) sedang ia tidak mengingininya dan tidak pula melampaui batas (pada kadar benda yang dimakan itu), maka tidaklah ia berdosa. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.
Spanish
Os ha prohibido sólo la carne mortecina, la sangre. la carne de cerdo y la de todo animal sobre el que se haya invocado un nombre diferente del de Alá. Pero si alguien se ve compelido por la necesidad -no por deseo ni por afán de contravenirno peca. Alá es indulgente, misericordioso. Read more...
