If what is meant by what is permissible is what is pleasurable, then it is good to say that the things that are forbidden are not pleasurable because not everyone is inclined to dead meat, and blood is not among the good provisions, so say to them, “The good foods are lawful for you.” The pronoun in “They ask you” refers to the believers who were forbidden what was detailed in the first verse of His statement, “Forbidden to you are dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,” meaning they ask you to detail what is permissible, so say, “Lawful for you are the good foods.” Abu Ali said, “Everything that is not mentioned in the verses of prohibition is all permissible.” And the Most High said: O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you.

And similar to it is His statement: O mankind, eat from whatever is on the earth [that is] lawful and good. However, this verse is addressed to the believers. And He said: “They ask you, [O Muhammad], what is lawful for them.

Say: Lawful for you are [all] good things and what you have taught of birds of prey to hunt.” Until His statement: “So eat of what they catch for you.” And this is the clearest verse in the Book of Allah regarding hunting and eating game, because it indicates the permissibility of training birds of prey to hunt, and eating what they hunt and kill, if it is trained, because if it did not kill it, it would not be permissible. Eat it, until it is slaughtered, whether it is taught or not.
