Primary text

The women and sacrificial animals of all disbelievers who are not People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab), such as those who worship idols, stones, trees, or animals, are forbidden to a Muslim. This ruling is based on the two cited Quranic verses and the absence of any contradictory evidence.
