is that they start giving fatwas about everything,
that this is haram to eat.
Now just like it is not allowed for
us to make something haram into something halal,
obviously there's a grave sin that alcohol is
haram and for us to say that it's
halal, that would be a grave sin, okay.
The things, the meat that we've mentioned here,
they are haram to consume and if we
say that it's halal, then it will be
a grave sin.
But also the opposite of that is a
very grave sin too, that a person, he
says to something about something which is halal
or doubtful, he says that that thing is
haram to consume.
That is a very dangerous situation to be
in.
So therefore, you will see that many scholars,
if they are asked the question of whether
something is haram or not, they will not,
the majority of the times, unless it's something
which is clear-cut haram, they will not
use the word haram until and unless they
are absolutely sure.
They might say it's better to avoid something
like that or it's not appropriate to do
something like that.
They will not use the word haram so
liberally and so easily.
But we have people, again with good intention,
you know, trying to make people stay away
from doubtful things and things which have some
level of grey area associated with them, they
use the word haram very, very liberally and
this is something that is iftira' ala Allah.
This is an accusation, a false accusation against
Allah SWT.
So this is what Allah says, Do
not say what your tongues describe falsely, that
this is halal and this is haram, meaning
that something which is haram, you turn it
into halal and something which is halal, you
turn it into haram, just using your tongue
without any knowledge.
With the intention of making a false accusation
against Allah SWT.
So when you do that, you are falsely
accusing Allah SWT and what is the consequence
of falsely accusing Allah?
Those people that make false accusations against Allah
SWT, they will never be successful.
They will never be successful means that Allah
SWT is going to punish them for having
the audacity to basically start giving fatwas without
any knowledge of those fatawa.
So very, need to be very, very careful
when we think about this issue.
