EnglishSaheeh International
And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allāh. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allāh will not succeed.

உங்கள் நாவுகள் (சில பிராணிகள் பற்றி) பொய்யாக வர்ணிப்பது போல், இது ஹலாலானது, இது ஹராமானது என்று அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது பொய்யை இட்டுக்கட்டாதீர்கள் - நிச்சயமாக, எவர் அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது பெய்யை இட்டுக்கட்டுகிறார்களோ அவர்கள் வெற்றியடைய மாட்டார்கள்.

අල්ලාහ් කෙරෙහි නුඹලා බොරු ගොතනු වස් නුඹලාගේ දිවවල් වර්ණනා කරන දෑට මෙය අනුමත ය. මෙය තහනම්ය යැයි නුඹලා නො පවසනු. නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ් කෙරෙහි බොරු ගොතන්නන් ජය නො ලබති.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
کسی چیز کو اپنی زبان سے جھوٹ موٹ نہ کہہ دیا کرو کہ یہ حلال ہے اور یہ حرام ہے کہ اللہ پر جھوٹ بہتان باندھ لو ، سمجھ لو کہ اللہ تعالیٰ پر بہتان بازی کرنے والے کامیابی سے محروم ہی رہتے ہیں.

あなたがたの口をついて出る偽りで,「これは合法〔ハラール〕だ,またこれは禁忌〔ハラーム〕です。」と言ってはならない。それはアッラーに対し偽りを造る者である。アッラーに対し偽りを造る者は,決して栄えないであろう。
ChineseMa Jian
你们对于自己所叙述的事,不要妄言:这是合法的,那是违法的。以致你们假借真主的名义而造谣。假借真主的名义而造谣者必不成功。

Tafsir of 16:116

The Command to eat Lawful Provisions and to be Thankful, and an Explanation of what is Unlawful Allah orders His believing servants to eat the good and lawful things that He has provided, and to give thanks to Him for that, for He is the Giver and Originator of all favors, Who alone deserves to be worshipped, having no partners or associate.
