The answer

The Quran is a book of guidance and legislation, not a book of medicine or astronomy. The Quran mentions some prohibited foods and general rules, while the Prophet's clarifies their details. Islam prohibits impure things (al-khaba'ith) and permits good things (at-tayyibat). The prohibition includes everything that harms a person, even if it was originally permissible, and this varies depending on individuals and countries.
