Questions tagged [halal-haram]

Questions about determining permissibility: "Is X haram/sinful/forbidden?", "Why/under what conditions/to which extent is X haram?". (Avoid using this tag by itself or together with the tags: sharia/fiqh; add the relevant tags for X instead if possible.)

Halal and haram are usually used to classify what kinds of things are permissible or forbidden in Islam for example: when it comes to foods you can eat, pork is haram and fish is halal. These words can also be used to classify actions, like to commit zina/sex outside of marriage is haram and to do good and forbid evil is halal.
