Surah Al-An'am (The Cattle), Verse 119

وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تَاْكُلُوْا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِلَّا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ اِلَیْهِ وَاِنَّ كَثِیْرًا لَّیُضِلُّوْنَ بِاَهْوَآىِٕهِمْ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَدِیْنَ ۟

Wa maa lakum allaa ta'kuloo mimmaa zukirasmul laahi 'alaihi wa qad fassala lakum maa harrama 'alaikum illaa mad turirtum ilaih; wa inna kaseeral la yudilloona bi ahwaaa'ihim bighairi 'ilm; inna Rabbaka Huwa a'lamu bilmu'tadeen

Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, when He hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you - except under compulsion of necessity? But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth best those who transgress.
