Translation

It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a slit-ear she-camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from work: It is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah; but most of them lack wisdom.

Tafsir

God has not ordained, He has not stipulated [in His Law], anything such as a Baheera, a Saa'iba, a Waseela or a Haam, in the way that people did at the time of paganism. Al-Bukhaaree reported [in a hadeeth] from Sa'eed ibn al-Musayyab, who said: 'The baheera is that [camel] whose milk is consecrated to idols and whom no human may milk; the saa'iba is the one they would leave to roam freely for their gods and was forbidden to bear any load; the waseela is the young she-camel that would give birth to a young female, as its first offspring, followed by another female, bearing one after the other without a male in between: she would then be left to roam freely for their idols; the haam is the mature male camel, which after completing a certain number of copulations with a female, would then be consigned to their idols and be exempt from bearing any load, and they would call it haamee; but the disbelievers invent lies against God, in this matter, by attributing [the sanctioning of] such [practices] to Him; and most of them do not understand, that this is mendacity, for in this they have [merely] followed the example of their forefathers.
