pairs

of

the sheep

two

and of

the goats

two

Say

(Are) the two males

He has forbidden

or

the two females

or what

contains

[in it]

(the) wombs

(of) the two females

Inform me

with knowledge

if

you are

truthful

And of

the camels

two

and of

the cows

two

Say

(Is it) the two males

He (has) forbidden

or

the two females

or what

contains

[in it]

(the) wombs

(of) the two females

Or

were you

witnesses

when

enjoined you

Allah

with this

Then who

(is) more unjust

than (one) who

invents

against

Allah

a lie

to mislead

the people

without

knowledge

Indeed

Allah

(does) not

guide

the people

the wrongdoing

Say

Not

(do) I find

in

what

has been revealed

to me

(anything) forbidden

to

an eater

except

that

it be

dead

or

blood

poured forth

or

(of) swine

for indeed, it

(is) filth

or

(it be) disobedience

[is] dedicated

to other than

Allah

[on it]

But whoever

(is) compelled

not

desiring

and not

transgressing

then indeed

your Lord

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful

And to

those who

are Jews

We forbade

every

(animal) with

claws

and of

the cows

and the sheep

We forbade

to them

their fat

except

what

carried

their backs

or

the entrails

or

what

(is) joined

with the bone

That

(is) their recompense

for their rebellion

And indeed, We

[surely] are truthful
