[The Ruling on the Phrase (I Have Forbidden the Forbidden)]
Regarding your saying: Whoever forbids the lawful,But if he said: I have forbidden the forbidden that you drink coffee in my presence,So I said: Do not forbid it, may Allah reward you with good,He said: I did not say I forbade the lawful,He said: I said I forbade the forbidden.
And you mentioned, O Shaykh, in your speech, may Allah reward you, the first verse of Surat al-Mujadilah: that whoever forbids any lawful thing falls into the position of an oath,If he said: I have forbidden the forbidden means that whatever Allah the Exalted has forbidden, I forbid it, but from the perspective of whether it falls into the position of an oath?
No, this does not fall into that position, and this is truth and honesty, and it is not a sin. However, we praise Allah that we make lawful every lawful thing He has made lawful, and we forbid every forbidden thing He has forbidden.
The questioner: I mean, may Allah reward you, some people use it from the perspective of changing and resolving others, saying: I have forbidden the forbidden that you drink coffee in my presence.
The Shaykh: No, if he does this, it is considered a form of circumlocution, and he thinks his companion that this is an oath.
And with this, this meeting ends, and until another meeting, if Allah wills, next week. We ask Allah to grant us and you beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds, for He is capable of all things.
