The Holy Quran 5:94 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَيَبْلُوَنَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنَ ٱلصَّيْدِ تَنَالُهُۥٓ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَرِمَاحُكُمْ لِيَعْلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَخَافُهُۥ بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۚ فَمَنِ ٱعْتَدَىٰ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Allaah shall surely test you to some extent with regard to the (smaller) game that your hands and (the bigger game that) your spears get hold of, so that Allaah may (let others) know who are the ones who fear Him without seeing (Him) (This test occurs when Muslims are in the state of Ihraam and are prohibited from hunting game. On such occasions, one cannot hunt even though the opportunities are abundant). There shall be a painful punishment for the one who oversteps the limits (of the Shari'ah by hunting game while in the state of Ihraam) after this (and after other instructions have come to him).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The prohibition of hunting in the state of ihram: in the previous ruku' (section), having forbidden declaring wholesome things unlawful and transgressing limits, [Allah] commanded avoidance of certain things which are unlawful permanently.
