5:3

حُرِّمَتْ Are made unlawful عَلَيْكُمُ on you ٱلْمَيْتَةُ the dead animals وَٱلدَّمُ and the blood وَلَحْمُ and flesh ٱلْخِنزِيرِ (of) the swine وَمَآ and what أُهِلَّ has been dedicated لِغَيْرِ to other than ٱللَّهِ Allah بِهِۦ [on it] وَٱلْمُنْخَنِقَةُ and that which is strangled (to death) وَٱلْمَوْقُوذَةُ and that which is hit fatally وَٱلْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ and that which has a fatal fall وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ and that which is gored by horns وَمَآ and that which أَكَلَ ate (it) ٱلسَّبُعُ the wild animal إِلَّا except مَا what ذَكَّيْتُمْ you slaughtered وَمَا and what ذُبِحَ is sacrificed عَلَى on ٱلنُّصُبِ the stone altars وَأَن and that تَسْتَقْسِمُوا۟ you seek division بِٱلْأَزْلَـٰمِ ۚ by divining arrows ذَٰلِكُمْ that فِسْقٌ ۗ (is) grave disobedience ٱلْيَوْمَ This day يَئِسَ (have) despaired ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved مِن of دِينِكُمْ your religion فَلَا so (do) not تَخْشَوْهُمْ fear them وَٱخْشَوْنِ ۚ but fear Me ٱلْيَوْمَ This day أَكْمَلْتُ I have perfected لَكُمْ for you دِينَكُمْ your religion وَأَتْمَمْتُ and I have completed عَلَيْكُمْ upon you نِعْمَتِى My Favor وَرَضِيتُ and I have approved لَكُمُ for you ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ [the] Islam دِينًۭا ۚ (as) a religion فَمَنِ But whoever ٱضْطُرَّ (is) forced فِى by مَخْمَصَةٍ hunger غَيْرَ (and) not مُتَجَانِفٍۢ inclining لِّإِثْمٍۢ ۙ to sin فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ٣

Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islām as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

5:4

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ They ask you مَاذَآ what أُحِلَّ (is) made lawful لَهُمْ ۖ for them قُلْ Say أُحِلَّ Are made lawful لَكُمُ for you ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ ۙ the good things وَمَا and what عَلَّمْتُم you have taught مِّنَ of ٱلْجَوَارِحِ (your) hunting animals مُكَلِّبِينَ ones who train animals to hunt تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ you teach them مِمَّا of what عَلَّمَكُمُ has taught you ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah فَكُلُوا۟ So eat مِمَّآ of what أَمْسَكْنَ they catch عَلَيْكُمْ for you وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ but mention ٱسْمَ (the) name ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْهِ ۖ on it وَٱتَّقُوا۟ and fear ٱللَّهَ ۚ Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَرِيعُ is swift ٱلْحِسَابِ (in taking) account ٤

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as Allāh has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allāh upon it, and fear Allāh." Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.

5:5

ٱلْيَوْمَ This day أُحِلَّ are made lawful لَكُمُ for you ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ ۖ the good things وَطَعَامُ and (the) food ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book حِلٌّۭ (is) lawful لَّكُمْ for you وَطَعَامُكُمْ and your food حِلٌّۭ (is) lawful لَّهُمْ ۖ for them وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ And the chaste women مِنَ from ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ the believers وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ and the chaste women مِنَ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book مِن from قَبْلِكُمْ before you إِذَآ when ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ you have given them أُجُورَهُنَّ their bridal due مُحْصِنِينَ being chaste غَيْرَ not مُسَـٰفِحِينَ being lewd وَلَا and not مُتَّخِذِىٓ ones (who are) taking أَخْدَانٍۢ ۗ secret lovers وَمَن And whoever يَكْفُرْ denies بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ the faith فَقَدْ then surely حَبِطَ (are) wasted عَمَلُهُۥ his deeds وَهُوَ and he فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter مِنَ (will be) among ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ the losers ٥

This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
