The Quran's dietary prohibitions appear in several passages rather than in one consolidated list, most directly at surah 5, verse 3, which names carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and anything slaughtered in a name other than God's as forbidden, alongside animals that died by strangling, by a blow, by a fall, by goring, or by a wild beast's attack unless slaughtered in time by human hand, and anything sacrificed on a stone altar to another god. Surah 6, verse 145 and surah 16, verse 115 largely restate the same core list, a repetition scholars of the Quran read as evidence of how central these specific prohibitions were considered within the text's overall legal material.
Beyond the Quran's own named prohibitions, hadith collections including Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim record the Prophet Muhammad forbidding the meat of any wild animal that has a canine tooth, used to seize and tear prey, and of any bird that has a talon, used to seize prey from the air, a rule that in practice excludes land predators such as wolves, lions and dogs and birds of prey such as eagles and hawks even though neither is named individually in the Quran's own list. Later jurists across the major schools of Islamic law systematised these Quranic and prophetic materials into the fuller halal and haram framework, works such as Sharai al-Islam fi Masail al-Halal wal-Haram taking their title directly from the two central categories, permitted and forbidden, that the entire system is built to sort every animal into.
