5:3

Are made unlawfulon youthe dead animalsand the bloodand flesh(of) the swineand whathas been dedicatedto other thanAllah[on it]and that which is strangled (to death)and that which is hit fatallyand that which has a fatal falland that which is gored by hornsand that whichate (it)the wild animalexceptwhatyou slaughteredand whatis sacrificedonthe stone altarsand thatyou seek divisionﱜﱝby divining arrows thatﱟﱠ(is) grave disobedienceThis day(have) despairedthose whodisbelievedofyour religionso (do) notfear themﱩﱪbut fear MeThis dayI have perfectedfor youyour religionand I have completedupon youMy Favorand I have approvedfor you[the] Islamﱵﱶ(as) a religionBut whoever(is) forcedbyhunger(and) notincliningto sinthen indeedﱿAllah(is) Oft-ForgivingMost Merciful(3)

Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and swine; what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah; what is killed by strangling, beating, a fall, or by being gored to death; what is partly eaten by a predator unless you slaughter it; and what is sacrificed on altars. You are also forbidden to draw lots for decisions.1 This is all evil. Today the disbelievers have given up all hope of ˹undermining˺ your faith. So do not fear them; fear Me! Today I have perfected your faith for you, completed My favour upon you, and chosen Islam as your way. But whoever is compelled by extreme hunger—not intending to sin—then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

5:4

They ask youwhat(is) made lawfulﲆﲇfor themSayAre made lawfulfor youthe good thingsand whatyou have taughtof(your) hunting animalsones who train animals to huntyou teach themof whathas taught youﲔﲕAllahSo eatof whatthey catchfor youbut mention(the) name(of) Allahﲝﲞon itand fearﲠﲡAllahIndeedAllahis swift(in taking) account(4)

They ask you, ˹O Prophet,˺ what is permissible for them ˹to eat˺. Say, “What is good and lawful. Also what is caught by your hunting animals and birds of prey which you have trained as instructed by Allah. So eat what they catch for you, but mention the Name of Allah over it ˹first˺.” And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

5:5

This dayare made lawfulfor youﲪﲫthe good thingsand (the) food(of) those whowere giventhe Book(is) lawfulfor youand your food(is) lawfulﲴﲵfor themAnd the chaste womenfromthe believersand the chaste womenfromthose whowere giventhe Bookfromﲿbefore youwhenyou have given themtheir bridal duebeing chastenotbeing lewdand notones (who are) takingﳈﳉsecret loversAnd whoeverdeniesthe faith then surely(are) wastedhis deedsand heinthe Hereafter(will be) amongthe losers(5)

Today all good, pure foods have been made lawful for you. Similarly, the food of the People of the Book1 is permissible for you and yours is permissible for them. And ˹permissible for you in marriage˺ are chaste believing women as well as chaste women of those given the Scripture before you—as long as you pay them their dowries in wedlock, neither fornicating nor taking them as mistresses. And whoever rejects the faith, all their good deeds will be void ˹in this life˺ and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers.
