بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
Allah's Name to commence with, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
In the name of Allah, the Infinitely Gracious, the Most Merciful.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَوْفُوْا بِالْعُقُوْدِ۬ؕ-اُحِلَّتْ لَكُمْ بَهِیْمَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ اِلَّا مَا یُتْلٰى عَلَیْكُمْ غَیْرَ مُحِـلِّی الصَّیْدِ وَ اَنْتُمْ حُرُمٌؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَحْكُمُ مَا یُرِیْدُ(1)
O believers! Fulfil your promises. Mute animals are made lawful for you (to eat) except that which will be stated to you further on, but do not regard hunting as lawful when you are in the state of Ihraam (the ritual attire for the performance of pilgrimage). Indeed, Allah commands as He wills.
O you who believe! Fulfil all oaths. Livestock has been made lawful for you except that which will (soon) be mentioned to you. (However,) hunting (game) is not permitted while you are in the state of Iḥrām. Allah commands whatever He wills.
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُحِلُّوْا شَعَآىٕرَ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَ لَا الْهَدْیَ وَ لَا الْقَلَآىٕدَ وَ لَاۤ ﰰمِّیْنَ الْبَیْتَ الْحَرَامَ یَبْتَغُوْنَ فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَ رِضْوَانًاؕ-وَ اِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُوْاؕ-وَ لَا یَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَاٰنُ قَوْمٍ اَنْ صَدُّوْكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اَنْ تَعْتَدُوْاۘ-وَ تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوٰى ۪-وَ لَا تَعَاوَنُوْا عَلَى الْاِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ۪- وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِٛ (2)
O believers! Do not make lawful (i.e. dishonour) the symbols of Allah, nor the sacred months, nor the sacrificial animals sent to the Sacred Territory (around Makkah), nor those (animals) bearing signs around their necks, nor the wealth and honour of those travelling towards the Sacred House (Ka'bah) seeking the bounty and contentment of their Lord. And when (you) come out of Ihraam, you may therefore hunt, and let not the enmity of the people, who prevented you from the Sacred Masjid, tempt you to do injustice. And help one another in righteousness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and injustice, and keep fearing Allah; indeed, Allah's punishment is severe.
O you who believe! Do not violate the sanctity of the signs of Allah, the sacred months, the sacrificial animals sent forth, the animals brought forth wearing marked collars, and the pilgrims attending the Honoured House, seeking the Grace and Pleasure of their Lord. And when you leave the state of Iḥrām, then you may hunt. And the enmity of a tribe who prevented you from entering the Sacred House (Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām) should not incite you to transgress. And help one another in matters of good and righteousness, and do not help each other in sin and transgression—and be mindful of Allah. Indeed Allah is severe in retribution.
