• He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead
  animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine,
• and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for
  others than Allah (or has been slaughtered
• for idols, on which Allah's name has not been
  mentioned while slaughtering). But if one is
• forced by necessity without willful disobedience
  nor transgressing due limits, then there is
• no sin on him. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
  Most Merciful.
• Surah Al-Baqarah -173
• Tafseer
• (V. 2172) Narrated An-Numan bin Bashir (RTA)
• I heard Allahs Messenger (SAW) saying, Both
  legal and illegal things are evident but in
• between them there are doubtful (unclear) things,
  and most of the people have no
• knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself
  from these unclear things, he saves his
• religion and his honour. And whoever indulges in
  these unclear things is like a shepherd
