The answer

Some of the terms that were asked about are mentioned in the Holy Quran. Allah (SWT) says: "Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food - for the benefit of yourselves and of those who travel by sea; but forbidden to you is the pursuit of land-game as long as you are in the state of (for Hajj or )." [Al-Ma'idah: 96]. And His saying: "He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him." [Al-Baqarah: 173]. And His saying: "Forbidden to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [animals] strangled or beaten to death or from a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and that which has been (partially) eaten by a wild animal – unless you are able to slaughter it [in due form];" [Al-Ma'idah: 3]. And His saying: "He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." [An-Nahl: 115]. And His saying: "and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil things" [Al-A'raf: 157].
