The way the rules of halal and haram are considered in Islam

 

 

Halal and Haram are two important terms in Islamic law. Generally, according to Islamic law, all legal matters are halal and all illegal matters are haram. Halal and Haram are determined by Allah. So every believer follows him without hesitation. Because he believes, ‘He has made lawful for them that which is good (and good) and has forbidden that which is impure (and bad).’ (Surah A'raf, verse: 157)

 

Limits set by Allah: Halal and Haram limits set by Allah for the believer. In the Qur'an, Allah forbids exceeding this limit. Irshad said, ‘This is the limit set by Allah. So do not transgress it. Anyone who transgresses the limits set by God is unjust. '(Surat al-Baqara, 229)

 

Only Allah has the right to determine: Halal and Haram have the right to determine. God has not given this right to anyone else. Irshad said, ‘Say, do you think that the sustenance which Allah has given you, you have made some of it lawful and some of it unlawful? Say, "Has Allah permitted you to do this, or are you denying Allah?" (Surah Yunus, verse 59)

 

Related to Halal and Haram Iman: According to the belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaat, if a person considers an unquestionably proven halal object as haram and haram object as halal, then his faith will be lost. The Holy Qur'an declares war on this class of people. Irshad said, ‘Among the People of the Book are those who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter; And Allah and His Messenger do not consider what is forbidden as forbidden and do not follow the true religion, fight them until they bow down and pay the jizya with their own hands. '(Surah At-Tawba, verse 29)

 

Part of the identity of a believer: Considering halal as halal and considering haram as haram is part of the identity of a believer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever reads the Qur'aan and memorizes it and considers its halal as halal and haraam as haram, Allaah will admit him to Paradise.’ (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2907)

 

Calling a halal thing haram is a heinous crime: calling a halal thing haram is a name for slandering Allah. Allah says, "Do not say that it is lawful and unlawful to lie to Allah because your tongue is a lie." (Surah Nahl, verse: 116)

 

Violation of the limit of making halal haram: It is a violation of the limit to consider any halal object as haram or to abstain from considering it as haram. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Surely Allah does not love the transgressors. '(Surat al-Ma'ida: 8)

 

Abstaining from halal things is indecent: It is not permissible for a believer to abstain from what Allah has made lawful for man. Because Allah says, ‘Say! Who has forbidden the adornment and pure sustenance which Allah has created for His servants? Tell me! This is for those who believe in the life of this world, especially on the Day of Resurrection. '(Surah A'raf, verse 32)

 

Avoiding halal avoidance is the name of deprivation: Avoiding the things that Allah has made halal is the name of being deprived of the grace of Allah. In the Holy Qur’an, Allah says, ‘They say according to their conception, these cattle and grain fields are forbidden; No one can eat these except whom I will. '(Surat al-An'am: 138)

 

It is not to reject halal things for the satisfaction of man: there is no excuse for avoiding what Allah has made lawful for the pleasure of man. Irshad said, ‘O Prophet, why are you forbidding what Allah has made lawful for you? You seek the pleasure of your wives, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. '(Surat at-Tahrim, verse 1)

 

Above the halal-haram relationship: The rules of halal and haram prescribed by Allah are above any kind of relationship and harmony. For this reason, when the Companions Abdullah ibn Salam and his companions disliked the eating of camel meat even after leaving Judaism, Allaah warned them, "O you who believe, enter Islam fully and do not follow the footsteps of Satan." (Surat al-Baqara, verse: 207; Details: Tafsir Tabari)

 

The Prophet's warning to those who reject halal: When a group of the Companions of Madinah revealed that they had imposed harshness on themselves and forbade lawful things for themselves, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Beware! The extremists have been destroyed. He said this three times. '(Sunan Abi Dawood, Hadith: 4807)

 

When is it permissible to abstain from halal things? E.g.

 

1. Suspicion: If a halal object is in doubt, there is a chance to avoid it. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘He who survives from doubtful things will protect his religion and honor.’ (Saheeh Bukhari, Hadith: 52)

 

2. Physician's prohibition: When a dichotomous doctor makes a halal comment that is harmful to the patient, it is permissible to avoid it. Such as not eating sugar for diabetic patients.

 

3. Fear of being taken to Haram: If there is a fear of creating a bad tendency in someone by a halal thing, then it is permissible to avoid it. For example, avoiding spicy drinks, which can encourage a person to drink alcohol. (Hedaya, drinking section)

 

4. Inherent dislike: It is permissible to avoid an object for personal dislike even if it is considered valid for oneself and others. When he went to the house of Maymuna (ra), he presented ‘dab’ (a desert animal resembling guisap) in front of Rasulullah (sa). When the Prophet (peace be upon him) withdrew his hand from it, Khalid bin Walid (peace be upon him) said, O Messenger of Allah, is it haraam to eat dub? He said no. But since it is not in our area. So I don’t like eating it. Khalid (ra) said, I dragged it and continued to eat. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) looked at me. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 5391)
