See how many times Satan deceived them. First, the claim of Holy and Forbidden cattle, second, the meat of the new born cattle is for males only to eat. Third, the females are allowed to eat only from the meat of the dead new born cattle. Fourth, they used to eat the dead meat.

In the previous articles, the idolators among the Arabs used to keep on and to perform many nasty sinful custos like:
§ Killing their children and burying their daughters alive.
§ The Holy and Forbidden cattle:
§ The Holy and Forbidden tillage and crops:
§ The Forbidden backs of the camels
§ The Name of Allah is not invoked
Note: The Holy and Forbidden cattle; they believed that those cattle are sacrosanct and forbidden. No one is to eat of them except whom we will
Ayah 6:139 adds some more customs that the idolators among the Arabs used to practice in the pre-Islamic period.
They said:
In respect to their Holy and Forbidden cattle; they said:
‘That which is within the bellies of these forbidden cattle is reserved and permitted for our males and is forbidden to our spouses, that is, the women.
This means that
the males are allowed to eat the meat of that which is within the bellies of these forbidden cattle
The females are not allowed to eat the meat of that which is within the bellies of these forbidden cattle.
This is another kind of sex discrimination.
But, what if that which is within the bellies of these forbidden cattle is born dead or dies consequently after birth?
In this case, both the males and females are partakers thereof eating its meat

§ First, the claim of Holy and Forbidden cattle
§ Second, the meat of the new born cattle is for males only to eat,
§ Third, the females is allowed to eat only from the meat of the dead new born cattle
§ Fourth, they used to eat the meat of dead cattle.
It is well-known that Islam forbids all of these devils’ ideas.
Ayah 6:139 says:
Allah will reward them; this is a threat to them
Allah will assuredly requite them for their describing that as either permitted or forbidden with the appropriate requital thereof.
Surely Allah is the Wise in His actions and commands; He is the Knowing of His creatures.
