The questioner : And they also cite, O honorable Shaykh, the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-An'am 6:145] Are they deriving their argument from this verse?
The Shaykh : This mention comes after the mention of animals[Al-An'am 6:145] from among animals. That is why it says “unless it is carrion.” As for trees, there is no carrion, or shed blood, or pork, for that is an abomination. Yes.
Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it
