Forbidden
to you (for food) are: Al-Maytatah (the dead animals - cattle-beast not
slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and the meat of that which has
been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah, or has been
slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allah’s Name has not been
mentioned while slaughtering, and that which has been killed by
strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the
goring of horns - and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild
animal - unless you are able to slaughter it (before its death) and
that which is sacrificed (slaughtered) on An-Nusub (stone altars).
(Forbidden) also is to use arrows seeking luck or decision, (all) that
is Fisqun (disobedience and sin).
Carrion
Carrion is the carcass of a dead animal
that becomes food for other scavenging animals. This is haram
(forbidden) to eat.
Bones
The reason for this forbiddance has been
mentioned in Sahih Muslim from the hadith of Ibn Masoud in that the
bones are the food of the Jinn. (By the time the bone reaches them),
Allah (swt) will cover it for them with more meat than it had before.
And as for the dung (faeces), then it is the food of their riding
animals.
