Abstract

The question of Halal and Haram is the most pertinent element to determine the legitimacy of an act. The Muslims are obliged to ensure that their action must be in line with the teaching of Shari‘ah. One of the primary accomplishments of Islamic law is the development of Islamic legal maxims (Al-Qawa’id Al-Fiqhiyyah) to formulate rules in the significant matter of halal and haram actions. A descriptive and analytical methodology will be utilized in this research. The present work aims to explore the principles of permissibility and prohibition of food in the light of Islamic legal maxims. The role of Islamic legal maxims will be highlighted in the domain of halal and haram food. It will be discussed that how legal maxims of Islamic law are compatible with the Qur’anic injunctions and Prophetic Traditions to develop the legal rulings regarding the issues of halal and haram food in contemporary era.
