The Difference Between Permissibility and Lawfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to the message from the questioner who used the initials (A. A) as a code for his name. He says: What is the difference, O Shaykh, between permissibility and lawfulness, and which of the two should a person follow?
Answer:
They are all synonymous: this is permissible, this is lawful, this is not a problem, this is without blame. They all have similar meanings: the mubah (permissible) is neutral on both sides. It is not a recommended practice, nor an obligation, nor forbidden, nor disliked. This is not a problem. This is mubah. This is without blame. This is permissible. They are all synonymous. Yes.
