Islamic Laws Regarding Halal and Haram

Brothers, sisters, friends and elders Assalamu Alaikum, wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, we are presenting the 99th episode of the Islamic informative video based on healing and events from the Holy Quran,and in this video we will describe,Islamic Laws Regarding Halal and Haram.

Islamic laws regarding *halal* (permissible) and *haram* (forbidden) form a central part of a Muslim’s daily life, encompassing aspects such as food, drink, business transactions, clothing, relationships, and acts of worship. These laws are derived from the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the consensus of scholars. The purpose of these rulings is to preserve faith, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth, and to ensure a moral, pure, and just society. Allah, in His infinite wisdom, has made clear what is *halal* for the benefit of humanity and what is *haram* to protect them from harm. The Qur’an states: in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 173 *“He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah…”* ). This verse serves as a foundation for understanding dietary prohibitions in Islam.

One of the most well-known areas where halal and haram are discussed is in the consumption of food and drink. Allah has made halal all pure and beneficial things, while haram are those that are impure or harmful. In Surah Al-Ma’idah verse 3 Allah says: *“O you who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah, if it is Him that you worship. He has only forbidden you dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name has been invoked besides Allah…”*. This verse not only highlights what is forbidden but also connects the act of consuming halal food with gratitude and worship, emphasizing its spiritual dimension.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) further clarified halal and haram matters through his teachings. In an authentic hadith recorded in *Sahih Muslim* (Hadith 1599), he said: *“Indeed, what is lawful is clear, and what is unlawful is clear. Between them are matters that are doubtful, which many people do not know about. So whoever avoids the doubtful matters has protected his religion and his honor…”* This hadith introduces the concept of *shubuhat* (doubtful matters), which exist between the clear categories of halal and haram. A cautious believer avoids such matters out of fear of falling into sin, which is an act of piety and consciousness of Allah (taqwa).

Beyond food and drink, Islam provides halal and haram guidelines in business and financial transactions. Honest trade, fair contracts, and mutual consent are all halal, while cheating, usury (*riba*), and gambling are explicitly haram. Allah says: in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 275 “Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity… But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest”*. Riba is considered a grave sin because it exploits the poor and corrupts the economic system. Islam encourages ethical and just financial dealings that benefit all parties.

The concepts of halal and haram also apply to interpersonal relations and moral conduct. For instance, modesty in dress and behavior is a halal requirement for both men and women. Allah commands in Surah An-Nur: *“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them… And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to show their adornment except what \[normally] appears thereof…”* (Surah An-Nur, 24:30-31). Adultery, fornication, and indecent behavior are haram because they destroy the fabric of society and the sanctity of family life. In another hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: *“No one commits adultery while being a believer at the time he is committing it”* (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 2475), highlighting the severe impact of haram actions on one’s faith.

Islam also addresses what is halal and haram in terms of speech and behavior. Truthfulness, kindness, and fulfilling promises are halal and praiseworthy, while lying, backbiting, and slander are haram. The Qur’an warns against backbiting: in Surah Al-Hujurat verse 12 *“And do not backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it…”*. Such vivid imagery shows the seriousness of haram speech and the emphasis Islam places on safeguarding the honor of others.

Importantly, the principle that governs halal and haram in Islam is that what Allah has made lawful is to be enjoyed with gratitude, and what He has prohibited is to be avoided for one’s own benefit. Islam does not seek to restrict life unnecessarily but to elevate it by guiding human beings toward what is beneficial and pure. Allah says: in Surah An-Nisa verses 26–28 “Allah wants to make things clear to you and guide you to the ways of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. Allah wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to deviate [from] the right course. Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties], and mankind was created weak”.

In conclusion, Islamic laws regarding halal and haram are divinely ordained boundaries designed to protect individuals and society from harm and promote spiritual, physical, and moral well-being. These guidelines are not arbitrary but are based on wisdom, justice, and mercy. By observing them, a Muslim demonstrates obedience to Allah, safeguards their faith, and contributes to a balanced and ethical life. Whether in food, finance, behavior, or speech, adhering to what is halal and avoiding what is haram is a core aspect of being a faithful servant of Allah.

With this, we ask for your permission until tomorrow and pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on the Quran and Hadith, Amen
