138: The halal is clear and the haram is clear and everything else is doubtful

The lawful is that which you would witness and swear to be lawful, likewise the prohibited. That which causes uneasiness in the heart is something doubtful [1].

NOTES

[1] An-Nu’maan ibn Basheer said: I heard Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) say, “That which is lawful is clear and that which is forbidden is clear. Between these two are doubtful matters….” Reported by al-Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. 1/44/no.49) and Muslim (Eng. trans. 3/840/no.3882).
