May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: If the term "made lawful" (ahilla) appears in the Shari'ah, does it indicate that the ruling before the permission was prohibition?
Answer:
No. When was it made lawful? Between when? He did not say, "It is made lawful for you now." "Made lawful" could have been the case from the very beginning when Allah created the world. Yes.
