Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

He hath forbidden for you only carrion and blood and swineflesh and that which hath been immolated in the name of any other than Allah; but he who is driven thereto, neither craving nor transgressing, lo! then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم ذكر ما حرمه عليهم مما فيه مضرة لهم في دينهم ودنياهم من الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير .

( وما أهل لغير الله به ) أي : ذبح على غير اسم الله ، ومع هذا ( فمن اضطر ) أي : احتاج في غير بغي ولا عدوان ، ( فإن الله غفور رحيم )

وقد تقدم الكلام على مثل هذه الآية في سورة " البقرة " بما فيه كفاية عن إعادته ، ولله الحمد [ والمنة ] .
