Audio 20 (PL2)

Dietary prohibitions take center stage, with the Quran listing exactly four: animals that die of themselves, running blood, pork, and animals dedicated to other than God. Speakers warn that prohibiting what God permits brings poverty and hunger, citing 16:112, and discuss commercial meat, gelatin, blood sausage, and saying Bismillah before meals. The session closes by turning to the definition of righteousness in 2:177.
