قُلْ لَا أَجِدُ فِي مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًا مَسْفُوحًا أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنْزِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ أَوْ فِسْقًا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ ﴿۱۴۵﴾ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٍ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَا إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَا أَوِ الْحَوَايَا أَوْ مَا اخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍ ذَلِكَ جَزَيْنَاهُمْ بِبَغْيِهِمْ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ ﴿۱۴۶﴾

﴾145﴿ Say, “I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, except it be a dead animal, or flowing blood, or the flesh of swine—for indeed, it is impure—or an offering dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is compelled, without being rebellious or exceeding the limit, then surely your Lord is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
﴾146﴿ And upon those who were Jews, We forbade every animal with claws (such as the she-camel, ostrich, and duck), and of cattle and sheep We forbade them their fat, except what is on their backs or the entrails or what is mixed with bone. Thus We recompensed them for their wrongdoing, and surely, We are truthful.

[145] This too is a refutation of unlawful prohibitions made in the name of other than Allah, now supported with a revealed (divine) argument after a rational one. It becomes clear that the polytheists have neither rational nor textual evidence for their prohibitions. Now, Allah states that even in His revelation, there is no such ruling.
(Muḥarraman) — Ibn Kathīr states that this refers to things the polytheists had declared unlawful upon themselves.
(Illā an yakūna) — this indicates a ḥaṣr iḍāfī (relative restriction), not an absolute one, because there are other forbidden foods besides those listed. So the point is: these specific things are what Allah made forbidden — not what the polytheists chose — so why do they declare other things lawful or unlawful on their own?
The reason these four are mentioned is that they are forbidden foods in all divinely-revealed religions.
(Masfūḥan) — means “flowing blood,” which excludes congealed blood, such as liver and spleen. It also excludes blood that has seeped into the meat after flowing — this is noted by Ibn Kathīr.
(Fa-innahu rijsun) — the pronoun refers to the pig (khinzīr), making it clear that the pig’s very essence is impure, even while alive.
[146] This is the answer to a question raised: “But didn’t Allah also declare the flesh of camels and fat (animal fat) to be forbidden? So why do you consider them lawful?”
The answer: Allah only made these things forbidden specifically for the Jews, as a punishment for their wrongdoing. They were not made unlawful for others.
Several of the Jews’ wrongdoings are mentioned in verse 160 of Surah An-Nisā’. Another of their injustices was that they used to extract oil from fat (which was forbidden for them), sell it, and consider the money earned from it as lawful.
The Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and give him peace) said: Do not commit trickery like them — making what Allah has forbidden lawful for yourselves through deception.
This kind of deceit has unfortunately become widespread in this ummah.
(Laṣādiqūn) — “if they are truthful” — is an indication that the Jews claimed that camel meat was forbidden in the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), but this was a lie.
