And why should you not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled. And indeed do many lead [others] astray through their [own] inclinations without knowledge. Indeed, your Lord - He is most knowing of the transgressors.

آخر کیا وجہ ہے کہ تم وہ چیز نہ کھاؤ جس پر اللہ کا نام لیا گیا ہو، حالانکہ جن چیزوں کا استعمال حالت اضطرار کے سوا دوسری تمام حالتوں میں اللہ نے حرام کر دیا ہے اُن کی تفصیل وہ تمہیں بتا چکا ہے بکثرت لوگوں کا حال یہ ہے کہ علم کے بغیر محض اپنی خواہشات کی بنا پر گمراہ کن باتیں کرتے ہیں، ان حد سے گزرنے والوں کو تمہارا رب خوب جانتا ہے

Mengapa kamu tidak mau memakan (binatang-binatang yang halal) yang disebut nama Allah ketika menyembelihnya, padahal sesungguhnya Allah telah menjelaskan kepada kamu apa yang diharamkan-Nya atasmu, kecuali apa yang terpaksa kamu memakannya. Dan sesungguhnya kebanyakan (dari manusia) benar benar hendak menyesatkan (orang lain) dengan hawa nafsu mereka tanpa pengetahuan. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu, Dialah yang lebih mengetahui orang-orang yang melampaui batas.
Ibn Kathir
Allowing What was Slaughtered in the Name of Allah
This is a statement of permission from Allah, for His servants, allowing them to eat the slaughtered animals werein His Name was mentioned when slaughtering them. It is understood from it that He has not allowed that over which Allah's Name was not mentioned when slaughtering. This was the practice of the pagans of Quraysh who used to eat dead animals and eat what was slaughtered for the idols. Allah next encourages eating from the meat of sacrificed animals on which His Name was mentioned upon slaughtering,
وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلاَّ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ
(And why should you not eat of that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned, while He has explained to you what is forbidden to you...) meaning, He has explained and made clear to you what He has prohibited for you in detail,
إِلاَّ مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
(except under compulsion of necessity.) In which case, you are allowed to eat whatever you can find. Allah next mentions the ignorance of the idolators in their misguided ideas, such as eating dead animals and what was sacrificed while other than Allah's Name was mentioned when slaughtering them. Allah said,
وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهْوَائِهِم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ إِنَّ رَّبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَدِينَ
(And surely, many do lead astray by their own desires through lack of knowledge. Certainly your Lord knows best the transgressors.) He has complete knowledge of their transgression, lies and inventions.
المُيَسَّر
وأيُّ شيء يمنعكم أيها المسلمون من أن تأكلوا مما ذكر اسم الله عليه، وقد بيَّن الله سبحانه لكم جميع ما حرَّم عليكم؟ لكن ما دعت إليه الضرورة بسبب المجاعة، مما هو محرم عليكم كالميتة، فإنه مباح لكم. وإنَّ كثيرًا من الضالين ليضلون عن سبيل الله أشياعهم في تحليل الحرام وتحريم الحلال بأهوائهم؛ جهلا منهم. إن ربك -أيها الرسول- هو أعلم بمن تجاوز حده في ذلك، وهو الذي يتولى حسابه وجزاءه.
