Yahya ibn Muʿalla ibn Mansur narrated to us: Ishaq ibn Muhammad al-Farawi narrated to us: ʿAbdullah ibn ʿUmar narrated to us, from Nafiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet, who said: ‘What is forbidden does not make what is lawful forbidden.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The saying is rendered as a concise legal maxim; the Arabic does not specify its application in this brief report.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ يُحَرِّمُ الْحَرَامُ الْحَلاَلَ " .
The maxim لا يحرم الحرام الحلال is concise and lacks an explicit application here; its precise legal scope depends on context not stated in this report.
Should the maxim remain general as translated, or is a specific legal sense intended in this context?
