The Holy Qor-aan                                                                                                                   002:174

اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡکُمُ الۡمَيۡتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحۡمَ الۡخِنۡزِيۡرِ وَمَآ اُهِلَّ بِهٖ لِغَيۡرِ اللّٰهِ‌ۚ فَمَنِ اضۡطُرَّ غَيۡرَ بَاغٍ وَّلَا عَادٍ فَلَاۤ اِثۡمَ عَلَيۡهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏

                Verse 002:174 has  بِهٖ  (differently located) and لَاۤ اِثۡمَ عَلَيۡهِ‌ؕ اِنَّ (five more than                  the) words in the otherwise identical verse 016:116.

In-na  maa  hur-ra-ma   alai  ko-mo  ol-mai- ta-ta                                                                    Wa  ud-da-ma  wa  lauh-ma  ul-khin-zee-ray  wa  maa
O-hil-la  bay  he  lay  ghai-ray  il-laa-hay
Fa  ma-nay  idz-toor-ra  ghai-ra  baa-ghin  wa  aa  aa-din
Fa  laa  ith-ma  alai  hay
In-na  ul-laa-ha  gha-foo-roon  ra-hee-m

He certainly has prohibited on you the Dead,
And the Blood and the Flesh of swine and
Or that with it offered as a sacrifice is for anyone other than Allah.
Then whoso is forced without rebelling or exceeding limits
Shall have no sin on (incurred by) him.
Indeed Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

* Note 002:174.   The Religious Law (Fiqah) rules provide this Prohibition as follows.
1. The dead meat is of an animal that has died of itself.                                                                  2. The Prohibition against certain meats is laid down in 002:174 and 005:004.                      3. The Permission to eat sanctified food is laid down in 005:006 and 006:0119 that permits to Eat from that on which the name of Allah has been invoked. The meat of an animal killed for food [as by an arrow, gun, hunting dog or hawk] is not dead meat as laid down in 005:005 when the Tuk-bee-r (= Bis-mil-laa-hay-Allaa-ho-uk-bur) is pronounced on it.                                                                                                                                                            4. The Exception relative to the Prohibition is repeated in 005:004 and 006:119.                    5.  Fish and locusts are lawful even without pronouncing the Tuk-bee-r on them although a strict interpretation will rule them out too on the ground that they are carrion.                        6. Details regarding specific edibles can be found easily by one who needs that by checking out religious Law (Fiqah)

** Note 002:174b. It is interesting to note that the Arabic word خِنۡزِيۡرِ has a similarly sounding word for and description of this animal in another language.  Malik Ghulam Farid stated this word as “a combination” of two words — Khinz meaning ‘very foul’ and Ara meaning ‘I see’ — and the whole word “meaning, I see it very foul.”   He added that in the Hindi language this animal is (a) named as ‘Su-ar’ that means “exactly the same” … “I see it very foul” and (b) described as ‘bad’ which means “bad or foul.”

*** Note 002:174c. The Holy Qor-aan has repeated this four-worded phrase several times including in the verses 002:174,  002:193,  002:200 and 073:021.  It has also conveyed that concept in different words including in the verses 002:219 and 004:044.
