Is gelatine considered haraam by all Muslim scholars? I have read of a contradictory opinion... See: Salafitalk- Ruling on Gelatin-- Nabilqureshi 05:31, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Gelatin / Gelatine - haram if obtained from pork or non-halal meat sources - the source is sometimes mentioned on the ingredients list. A vegetarian alternative is available.
Depends. Gelatin, when a chemical change happens in its creation (which is how Gelatin is made in the West), is considered Halal by the majority of scholars; both Sunni and Shia. Armyrifle 21:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
"The category of harām also includes all manner of forbidden behaviours, from adultery to siding with a non-Muslim power against Muslims in war."
This is very interesting and I would think that references (Q'uran or other teachings) would be useful.
Proposal: move to Haram. This is the normal romanization used in English-speaking regions and the first letter of the current title shows up as an empty square box. Badagnani 02:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

It is not adultery to have sex with "(the captives) whom their right hands possess". What does that mean? Read below. DHR ( talk) 02:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Muslim men are to emulate Muhammad, and Muhammad had a countless number of slaves [male and female] that were obtained from waging war on his neighbors. A Muslim religiously, can have sex with a female non-Muslim war captive during a time of war and Allah will be pleased with him for doing it...

Hans Wehr's Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic (4th edition, p 201) gives this definition:
حرام ḥarām pl حرم ḥurum forbidden, interdicted, prohibited, unlawful; s.th. forbidden, offense, sin; inviolable, taboo; sacred, sacrosanct; cursed, accursed
The definition is followed, as usual for a significant entry, by a long list of phrases and idioms using the word. Of these the only two mentioning "holy" explicitly are الشهر الحرام, "the Holy Month Muharram" and المسجد الحرام, "the Holy Mosque in Mecca". There is also البيت الحرام, the Kaaba.
Note that "holy" does not occur at all in the definition list. The closest is "sacred" or "sacrosanct", but even then the examples indicate the use of "sacred" or "sacrosanct" in such a way as to imply some form of restriction or taboo.
This does not appear to me sufficient to justify including "holy" as a meaning in the lead, although some of the above might possibly be included in the article body.

The article changed significantly since Dec. 2007, I've removed the NPOV template, please use {{POV-section}} or better yet {{POV-statement}} for statements and detail issues here. This will help address them quickly. - Roy Boy 00:17, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
According to what source is the primary or basic meaning of this word supposedly "sinful"? That term doesn't appear anywhere in the extended Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic definition of the word (see section "holy in the lead" above). AnonMoos ( talk) 02:04, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
It has been put under being 'haraam'. I dont want to get in to a debate about the reasons why it can be haraam or halaal. Some people say it isn't because it is the same as wearing henna.. However the henna is not permanent? Its haraam becasue you can not perform wudhu as the water can not reach the skin, the ink is under the skin? Just saying it should be changed or referenced to whom regard it as haraam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.134.123 ( talk) 17:50, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Recently, 70.51.73.166 added "(S.A.W.)" after each reference to Muhammad. Peace be upon him (Islam)
Is that reasonable?
As a non-muslim, I would be hypocritical uttering that phrase. And hence disrespectful.
Some authorities claim the short form in itself is disrespectful.
Do all other Wikipedia articles mentioning the prophet's name need editing? -- DHR ( talk) 20:39, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
The article List of haraam products has been tagged with multiple issues for nearly five years -- since January 2010. That list is not overly long; moving the sourced material into this article seems like it would be an improvement over the present state of affairs. Comments? YBG ( talk) 07:53, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Why sucking is haram in islam ? Shamshtabrezkhan ( talk) 14:10, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
I can't find the original hadith anywhere in the Hadith, only reference I can find is the following from a twitter post:
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever dies while associating anything with Allah will enter Hellfire.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1181, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 92
but I can't corroborate it in English sources, and can only find one source searching for "٩٢" "١١٨١" ابن مسعود," so where's it from? Akheneros ( talk) 03:55, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
This article claims that things such as Gelatin, Vanilla extract et al are haraam due to them containing alcohol, this is not true. What is haraam is something that it alcoholic, the example given in the Quran is alcohol beverages. Things such as bread and orange juice contain alcohol and yet these are halal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:8889:6C00:488F:8A0C:440D:C2CB ( talk) 15:46, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
life is given and killing is blasphemy and therefor the MOST haraam to do. why is killing NOT mentioned as haraam? who forgets to mention that life is given. 14:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
Wiktionary has a whole range of translations. Maybe the vowels (dots) differ?
The Arabic Etymological Dictionary by Andras Rajki (2002; available online, for instance here) might not be the most reliable, but it states that in Arabic, haram = pyramid, among other things. An editor once constructed a whole theory, based on Egyptian pyramids having a temenos, sacred precinct, and thus becoming synonymous with restricted or holy area. Nobody paid attention, but maybe they should have? Arabic came before Islam, and Semitic roots way before it. The Islamic concept has its older roots, and they're not being dealt with here, which is unfortunate but not very surprising. Anyone willing? Cheers, Arminden ( talk) 11:04, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
