Say ( O Muhammad SAW ) : " I find not in that which has been inspired to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it , unless it be Maytatah ( a dead animal ) or blood poured forth ( by slaughtering or the like ) , or the flesh of swine ( pork , etc . ) for that surely is impure , or impious ( unlawful ) meat ( of an animal ) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah ( or has been slaughtered for idols , etc . , or on which Allah 's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering ) . But whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience , nor transgressing due limits , ( for him ) certainly , your Lord is Oft-Forgiving , Most Merciful . "
