ما الحلال والحرام في الإسلام؟

What is halal is what the law permits, and what is haram is what it forbids. Between them are doubtful matters that a Muslim avoids out of caution. This division is the basis of the chapters on food and dealings.

In Islam, halal is what the law permits, and haram is what it forbids. Scholars have a known division into what is clearly lawful, what is clearly unlawful, and doubtful matters between them. The entry on lawful and unlawful presents it. Applying this division to food is well known. The matters people most often ask about are meat, slaughter, and what is drunk and eaten. The fine details differ between the schools, so this entry refers to the entry on lawful and unlawful rather than issuing a general ruling.
