Point 11:

Clarification of the definition of the halal and haram and the doubtful regarding booty.

I say, and success is by Allah, that the root of the halal is not unkown.

Ahmad az-Zarruq said in Miftah as-Sidad, the commentary on Irshad as-Salik, “The halal is what is free from anhy claims of being the right of Allah or the right of His slaves. It is that whose source is clearly known. The haram is what is verified to be the property of someone else as al-Ghazzali said in Miftah al-‘Abidin. The doubtful is that which is not specified to be halal or haram, as Ahmad az-Zarruq said in his book, Miftah as-Sidad, the commentary on the Irshad as-Salik.”

This is enough to achieve the answer to this point.

O Allah! Show us the true as true and make us follow it! Show us the false as false and make us avoid it!
