سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 139
وَقَالُوا۟ مَا فِى بُطُونِ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ خَالِصَةٌ لِّذُكُورِنَا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِنَا ۖ وَإِن يَكُن مَّيْتَةً فَهُمْ فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ ۚ سَيَجْزِيهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿139﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And they say: "What is in the bellies of such and such cattle (milk or foetus) is for our males alone, and forbidden to our females (girls and women), but if it is born dead, then all have shares therein." He will punish them for their attribution (of such false orders to Allâh). Verily, He is All-Wise, All-Knower. (Tafsir At-Tabarî).

139. 1. This is another form: from the animals that they dedicated to their idols, regarding some of them they would say that their milk and the living offspring born from their wombs are lawful only for our men, and forbidden for women. However, if the offspring was born dead, then in eating it, men and women are equal.
139. 2. Allah Almighty said: those who make such false statements and fabricate lies against Allah, Allah will punish them. He is Wise in His decisions and fully aware of His servants, and according to His knowledge and wisdom, He will arrange for reward and punishment.
