Everything Is Permissible in Islam Until Proven Prohibited
1. The scholars set a rule that says that in principle everything is permissible, and they based this rule on Shar`i evidence. 2. With regard to food, drink, clothing and soap (and cleaning materials), this rule is to be followed with regard to everything concerning which there is no Shar`i text. 3. With regard to meat that is available in a Muslim or Christian country, it is deemed to be permissible, unless it is proven that it was slaughtered by a method that is contrary to Islamic rulings. 4. With regard to products for which there is no Shar`i evidence that they are prohibited, or the list of ingredients does not include any components that are prohibited or are harmful, then we rule that it is permissible and pure. 5. The basic principle concerning clothing is that it is permissible except what is excluded by Islamic rulings, such as silk which is prohibited for men, and some animal skins that cannot be purified by means of tanning.
