Halal or Haram

Al-Ma’idah
(5:87) O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors.

(5:103) Allah did not institute [superstitions like those of] bahirah [a slit-ear she-camel] or sa’ibah [a she-camel let loose for free pasture] or wasilah [idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals] or ham [stallion-camels freed from work]; this lie is invented by the unbelievers against Allah, and most of them lack understanding.
(5:104) When it is said to them: “Come to what Allah has revealed and come to the Messenger.” They reply: “Sufficient for us are the ways on which we found our forefathers.” What! Even though their forefathers knew nothing and were not rightly guided?”


Al-An’am
(6:140) Actual losers are those who kill their own children foolishly without knowledge and forbid food which Allah has provided them, falsely ascribing prohibitions to Allah.  Certainly they have gone astray and are not at all rightly guided.

(6:148) The polytheists will promptly say: “If Allah wanted, neither we nor our forefathers would have been associated with others, or we could have made anything unlawful.”  That is how their ancestors rejected the truth until they tasted of Our punishment.  Ask them: “Do you have any evidence that you can put before us?  [The fact of the matter is,] you believe in nothing but conjecture and follow nothing but falsehood.”
(6:149) Say: “Allah’s argument is conclusive; if it had been His will He could indeed have guided you all.”
(6:150) Say: “Bring your witnesses to prove that Allah did forbid so and so.”  Even if they so testify, do not testify with them, nor yield to the wishes of those who deny Our revelations, disbelieve in the hereafter, and set up others as equals with their Lord [Rabb].”
(6:151) Say, “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you do not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities – what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason.”
(6:152) And do not approach the orphan’s property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any soul except [with that within] its capacity. And when you testify, be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the covenant of Allah fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember.
(6:153) And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.


Al-A’raf
(7:31) O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.
(7:32) Say, “Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?” Say, “They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection.” Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.
(7:33) Say, “My Lord has only forbidden immoralities – what is apparent of them and what is concealed – and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know.”
(7:34) And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

(7:199) Show forgiveness, speak for justice and avoid the ignorant.
(7:200) And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
(7:201) Indeed, those who fear Allah – when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.
(7:202) As for Satan’s brothers, they drag them deeper into error and never relax their efforts.


An-Nahl
(16:116) And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, “This is lawful and this is unlawful,” to invent falsehood about Allah. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.
