Re: Who decides what is Halal and what is Haram ?
Salam all,
the funniest thing in this thread is people saying "I think its..", "maybe its", "oh how about this".
None of you are scholars, please refrain from passing out quran and hadith as if we all are aware of the context, the interpretation, and meaning.
Wsalam
Peace bro. Crescent_
JazakAllah Khair for reminding me of my limitations. May Allah (SWT) humble me.
From memory is what I mean when I say 'I think' and I use it to summate an understanding that I have obtained from reading, the practice of traditions, what given ulema have said and similar context discussions. I don't actually mean that it is 'my interpretation'. This I try to avoid until necessary.
The argument regarding 'bi' in Arabic is a linguistic one not directly a Qur'anic one.
