Ayah: 119

وَمَا لَكُمۡ أَلَّا تَأۡكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسۡمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ وَقَدۡ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِلَّا مَا ٱضۡطُرِرۡتُمۡ إِلَيۡهِۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهۡوَآئِهِم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ

119. What reason have you that you should not eat of that on which the Name of Allāh has been pronounced13, while He has already explained to you in detail what has been forbidden to you - except what you are compelled to14. Indeed many (deviants) would lead (people) astray by their lowly desires without any knowledge. Indeed, your Lord (Allāh) knows best the transgressors.

13. Upon slaughtering it.
14. In cases of dire necessity, what is normally prohibited becomes permissible, but only to the extent of the need.
