The Lawful and Unlawful – The Two Rules of Permissability

“What Allah has made lawful in His Book is halal and what He has forbidden is haram, and that concerning which He is silent is allowed as His favor. So accept from Allah His favor, for Allah is not forgetful of anything…”

Lecture details the 2 principles of permissability: (1) Only Allah has the authority to make things lawful or unlawful; (2) Most things in life are lawful unless clearly defined to not be by Allah except in worship. In that case everything is unlawful unless clearly defined otherwise.
