Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is there severity in the Shari'ah of Moses, leniency in the Shari'ah of Jesus, and did Allah combine both severity and leniency for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
We have not heard this, but Allah imposed strictness upon the Children of Israel as a punishment for them, and He forbade them things that were lawful for them.[An-Nisa 4:160] This is a punishment. This is strictness imposed on them by way of punishment. The reports [Al-A'raf 7:157] indicate a punishment from Allah the Exalted for them. As for the legislation of Allah for all the prophets, it is a religion of ease, simplicity, and leniency. Yes.

For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them
فَبِظُلْمٍ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْthe shackles which were upon them
وَالْأَغْلَالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ
