Summary
This Bayan Linnas begins by explaining the hadith of Nu'man bin Basyir that the halal is clear, the haram is clear, and between them lie doubtful (syubhat) matters. What Allah and His Messenger have expressly declared halal or haram remains so, while matters whose status is unclear are called syubhat. Only a small number of people, namely the mujtahids, know the ruling on such matters. Scholars differ on how to categorise syubhat, and avoiding it is encouraged to protect one's religion and honour.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perkara yang dinaskan oleh Allah dan Rasul-Nya sebagai halal, maka ianya tetap halal dan perkara yang dinaskan oleh Allah dan Rasul-Nya sebagai haram, maka ianya tetap haram.
