O ye who believe! Fulfil (all) obligations Lawful unto you (for food) Are all four-footed animals, With the exceptions named: But animals of the chase Are forbidden while ye Are in the Sacred Precincts Or in pilgrim garb: For God doth command According to His Will and Plan
O ye who believe! Violate not the sanctity Of the Symbols of God, Nor of the Sacred Month, Nor of the animals brought For sacrifice, nor the garlands That mark out such animals, Nor the people resorting To the Sacred House, Seeking of the bounty And good pleasure Of their Lord. But when ye are clear Of the Sacred Precincts And of pilgrim garb, Ye may hunt And let not the hatred Of some people In (once) shutting you out Of the Sacred Mosque Lead you to transgression (And hostility on your part). Help ye one another In righteousness and piety, But help ye not one another In sin and rancour: Fear God: for God Is strict in punishment.
