Al-Ma'idah 5:96 احل لكم صيد البحر وطعامه متاعا لكم وللسيارة وحرم عليكم صيد البر ما دمتم حرما واتقوا الله الذي اليه تحشرون ٩٦

5:96
أُحِلَّ
لَكُمۡ
صَيۡدُ
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
وَطَعَامُهُۥ
مَتَٰعٗا
لَّكُمۡ
وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِۖ
وَحُرِّمَ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
صَيۡدُ
ٱلۡبَرِّ
مَا
دُمۡتُمۡ
حُرُمٗاۗ
وَٱتَّقُواْ

ٱلَّذِيٓ
إِلَيۡهِ

To hunt and to eat the fish of the sea is made lawful for you, a provision for you and for seafarers; but to hunt on land is forbidden you so long as ye are on the pilgrimage. Be mindful of your duty to Allah, unto Whom ye will be gathered.

Read in Context

Chapter 5, Page 124, Juz 7

94. O ye who believe! Allah will surely try you somewhat (in the matter) of the game which ye take with your hands and your spears, that Allah may know him who feareth Him in secret. Whoso transgresseth after this, for him there is a painful doom. 95. O ye who believe! Kill no wild game while ye are on the pilgrimage. Whoso of you killeth it of set purpose he shall pay its forfeit in the equivalent of that which he hath killed, of domestic animals, the judge to be two men among you known for justice, (the forfeit) to be brought as an offering to the Ka'bah; or, for expiation, he shall feed poor persons, or the equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the evil consequences of his deed. Allah forgiveth whatever (of this kind) may have happened in the past, but whoso relapseth, Allah will take retribution from him. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong). 96. To hunt and to eat the fish of the sea is made lawful for you, a provision for you and for seafarers; but to hunt on land is forbidden you so long as ye are on the pilgrimage. Be mindful of your duty to Allah, unto Whom ye will be gathered.
