Sura 6
Aya 138
138
وَقالوا هٰذِهِ أَنعامٌ وَحَرثٌ حِجرٌ لا يَطعَمُها إِلّا مَن نَشاءُ بِزَعمِهِم وَأَنعامٌ حُرِّمَت ظُهورُها وَأَنعامٌ لا يَذكُرونَ اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهَا افتِراءً عَلَيهِ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم بِما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

Bijan Moeinian

They have come up with self-imposed laws [upon charity, for example,] and say that only those people can eat such and such animal that do such and such. they have forbidden some animals to give ride or to carry loads. They do not even ask the Lord's permission to slaughter an animal [after all, it is God Who has given life to these animals and His permission (as the real owner) should be asked for their slaughter.] They have fabricated all these nonsense, attributing them to God. Pretty soon God will deal with them accordingly.
