وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تَأْكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا ٱضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهْوَآئِهِم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

TRANSLITERATION

Wamā lakum allā taʾkulū mimmā dhukirasmullāhi ʿalayhi waqad faṣṣala lakum mā ḥarrama ʿalaykum illā maḍṭurirtum ilayh, waʾinna kathīral layuḍillūna biʾahwāʾihim bighayri ʿilm, inna rabbaka huwa aʿlamu bil-muʿtadīn

ENGLISH TRANSLATION · TALAL ITANI

And why should you not eat of that over which the name of God is pronounced, when He has detailed for you what is prohibited for you, unless you are compelled by necessity? Many lead astray with their opinions, through lack of knowledge. Your Lord knows best the transgressors.
