يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
أَوْفُوا
بِالْعُقُودِ
أُحِلَّتْ
لَكُم
بَهِيمَةُ
الْأَنْعَامِ
إِلَّا
مَا
يُتْلَى
عَلَيْكُمْ
غَيْرَ
مُحِلِّي
الصَّيْدِ
وَأَنتُمْ
حُرُمٌ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
يَحْكُمُ
مَا
يُرِيدُ

Believers, stand by your contracts (and obligations). Of all animals, cattle has been made lawful for you as food with certain exceptions. Hunting is not lawful for you during ihram (a part of the rituals during pilgrimage). God decrees as He wills.
