5:96 It is lawful for you to catch and eat seafood, as a provision for you and for the travelers. But hunting land animals is forbidden to you as long as you are on pilgrimage. And fear Allah to Whom you will be gathered.

5:97 Allah has made the Ka‘bah, the Sacred House, a source of stability for people, and also the sacred month, the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. This is so that you may know that Allah knows all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth, and that Allah is All-Knowing of everything.

5:98 Know that Allah is severe in punishment and that Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

5:99 The Messenger’s duty is only to convey the message; Allah knows what you reveal and what you conceal.

5:100 Say, “Evil and good are not equal, even if the abundance of evil may impress you. So fear Allah, O people of understanding, so that you may be successful.”

5:101 O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if they are made known to you, would only cause you hardship[1]. If you inquire about them while the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made known to you. Allah has pardoned you for it. Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

5:102 Some people before you asked such questions, then became disbelievers as a result of that[1].

5:103 Allah did not ordain any such thing as the Bahīrah, Sā’ibah, Wasīlah, and Hām [i.e., dedicated camels to idols][1]. Rather those who disbelieve fabricate lies against Allah, and most of them do not understand.
