آیه: 96

أُحِلَّ لَكُمۡ صَيۡدُ ٱلۡبَحۡرِ وَطَعَامُهُۥ مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ صَيۡدُ ٱلۡبَرِّ مَا دُمۡتُمۡ حُرُمٗاۗ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ

96. Lawful to you is the game of the sea and sea food, a provision for you and the travellers. The game of the land is prohibited to you while you are in the state of consecration 'for major or lesser pilgrimage'. Fear Allāh to Whom you shall 'all' be gathered.

آیه: 97

۞ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةَ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ قِيَٰمٗا لِّلنَّاسِ وَٱلشَّهۡرَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ وَٱلۡهَدۡيَ وَٱلۡقَلَٰٓئِدَۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ

97. Allāh has made the Ka'bah 'in Makkah' - the sacred house a bastion of security and benefits for the people71, and also the sacred month, the offerings, and the sacrificial animals with garlands. This is that you may know that Allāh knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and that Allāh is the Knower of all things.

71. Qiyām traces its meaning to erectness and/or taking care of affairs. That God made the Kaʿbah qiyāman li al-nās signifies both their religious, e.g. Prayers, Hajj, ʿumrah, etc., and worldly affairs, e.g. trade in all sorts of produce, getting together and knowing each other, etc., are upheld and safeguarded in and around it.

آیه: 98

99. Nothing is (incumbent) on the messenger (Muhammad) but to deliver 'the Message' clearly. Allāh knows what you reveal or conceal.

آیه: 100

آیه: 101

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَسۡـَٔلُواْ عَنۡ أَشۡيَآءَ إِن تُبۡدَ لَكُمۡ تَسُؤۡكُمۡ وَإِن تَسۡـَٔلُواْ عَنۡهَا حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ تُبۡدَ لَكُمۡ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٞ

101. O believers, do not ask about things which if explained to you may displease you75. If you ask about such things when the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be explained to you. Allāh has pardoned that (which is past). Allāh is All-Forgiving; Most Forebearing.
