SURAH AN-NAHL 115He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the fl esh 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] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

SURAH AN-NAHL 116And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, «This is lawful and this is unlawful,» to invent falsehood about Allah. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.
