Deaf, dumb, blind, therefore they have no sense.

hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But he who is driven by

Forgiving, Merciful.
Yusuf Ali
173. He hath only forbidden you dead meat and blood and the flesh of swine and that
on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah but if one is forced
by necessity without wilful disobedience nor transgressing due limits then is he
guiltless. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
