﴾3﴿ He has forbidden for you carrion, blood, and pig's flesh, and anything that is called over it from a vow other than Allah, And those who fell from a height, and were struck by horns, and those who were eaten by wild beasts, unless you slaughter them, and those who were slaughtered in the gates of non-Allah, And when you determine fortune on the arrows, these deeds are a great disobedience, Today, the infidels are disappointed in your religion, so do not fear them and fear me, Today, I have completed your religion for you, I have completed my blessing on you, and I have chosen the religion of Islam for you, So the one who was forced to in severe hunger was not willing to sin, so surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful

[3] This verse details twelve prohibited things (محرمات الهیه). The phrases "مَا أُهِلَّ" and "وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ" refer to offerings made to other than Allah, which is an act of shirk. This explanation clarifies "مَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ" mentioned earlier. (وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ) This and the next four cases are a specific mention within the general category of "مَيْتَة" (carrion). "مَيْتَة" generally refers to any dead animal not slaughtered according to Islamic law, including forbidden animals like dogs even if slaughtered properly. These five cases refer specifically to permissible animals that become unlawful due to improper slaughtering methods: 1. "الْمُنْخَنِقَةُ" – An animal that dies from suffocation, whether intentionally strangled or accidentally choked. (وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ) An animal that dies from being struck with a stick or stone. This includes an animal hit by the broad side of an arrow rather than its sharp point (as mentioned in an authentic hadith). Al-Shirbini states that an animal killed by a bullet also falls under this category, as a bullet kills due to its weight, not its sharpness. (وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ) An animal that falls from a height, such as from a mountain, cliff, or into a well, and dies. (وَالنَّطِيحَةُ) An animal gored by another animal and dies, even if blood flows from its throat. (مَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ) Animals attacked and eaten by dogs, wolves, foxes, leopards, etc. If a predator injures an animal's throat, causing it to bleed and die, it is still carrion (haram). (إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ) This is an attached exception (استثناء متصل) to "المنخنقة" and those that follow. If life remains in the animal after such incidents and it is slaughtered according to Islamic law, it becomes permissible. Some scholars, like Al-Khatib Al-Shirbini, consider this an independent exception (استثناء منقطع). Some falsely limit this exception to "ما أكل السبع" (attacked by predators), but such restriction is unnecessary. Some modern distorters claim that "ما أهل لغير الله به" (slaughtered for other than Allah) can be made lawful through Islamic slaughter, but this is false. (مَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ) This refers specifically to animals sacrificed at pagan altars, a subset of "ما أهل" (animals dedicated to deities other than Allah). "ما أهل لغير الله" includes any offering to other than Allah, whether at altars, idols, or even graves.
