﴿حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ﴾
Carrion has been forbidden to you. (Al-Māʾidah 5:3)
A prohibition concerning an object relates to an appropriate action or use. In this context, the most natural understood action is akluhā, “eating it.”
Reason helps establish that a relevant action must be understood, while the legal and customary context helps identify which action is intended. Abstract reasoning alone does not invariably specify a single concrete omitted word.
