O mankind! Eat
of what is lawful and good on earth and follow not Satans
footsteps, verily he is your open enemy and bids you only
to do evil and to commit deeds of abomination
Quran 2:168-169
O you who believe!
Eat of good things He has forbidden to you only carrion
and blood and flesh of swine and that over which any name
other than Allahs has been invoked but if anyone is driven
by necessity.
Quran 2:172-3
In Sura Al-Anam 145, the above is repeated.
Also, repeated in 5:3 but added are, animals
- Dead from strangulation
- Dead from violent blow
- Dead from headlong fall
- Gored to death or savaged by wild animals
In addition, the Prophet (SAW) is given
an authority to declare good things lawful.
In 7:57 He (the Prophet) makes lawful to
them the good things of life and he forbids them the bad
things.
This will be found in the Hadith (prophetic
saying) eg.
* Predatory, **
Destruction recommended in Shariah.

What is lawful to eat, what is unlawful,
are clear. Where any food is not so clear either way the
food is considered lawful based on the premise that what
is not forbidden is permitted as in the Quranic verse 2:29.
And He (Allah)
has created for you whatever is on earth, all of it.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
Allah has made obligatory on you certain
matters and do not therefore neglect them. He has imposed
limits so do not transgress them. And He has remained silent
over certain matters out of His grace towards you and not
out of forgetfulness, so do not search or pry into them.
