[16] لِيَشْهَدُوا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ ۖ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا الْبَائِسَ الْفَقِيرَ {28} So they would witness the benefits for them, and they would mention the Name of Allah during the well-known days upon what He has Graced them from the beasts, the cattle.
Therefore, eat from these and feed the destitute, the poor [22:28] Also, Allah -azwj Says: اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوا مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ {79} Allah is the One Who Made for you the cattle in order for you to ride from these, and from these you are eating [40:79] وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ {80} And there are benefits in these for you, and for you to reach upon these to your needs which are in your chests, and upon these and upon the ships you are being carried [40:80] For Ahadith on slaughter, refer to Al-Kafi V 6 The Book of Slaughtered Animals https://hubeali.com/books/English-Books/AlKafiVol6/Al%20Kafi%20V%206%20-%20The%20Book%20of%20Slaughter.pdf Do not Prohibit Yourself from the ‘Good Things’ In the following Verses (5:87-88), Allah -azwj Rebukes those who prohibit onto themselves ‘the good things’ which were made permissible.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ {87} O you who believe!
Do not be prohibiting yourselves the good things what Allah has Permitted for you nor be excessive; surely Allah does not Love the exceeders [5:87] وَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنْتُمْ بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ {88} And eat from what Allah has Graced you of the Permissible, good; and fear Allah Whom you are believing in [5:88] In the above Holy Verses, one has to learn from Ahadith to understand which things Allah -azwj is referring to when Pointing out ‘the good things’ and ‘the permissible, good’?
