The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam

Yusuf al-Qaradawi

What Islamic law permits and forbids across ordinary life, written for readers rather than jurists.

Al-Qaradawi’s most widely circulated book sets out what Islamic law permits and forbids across ordinary life: food, dress, work, marriage, entertainment and finance. It is written for general readers rather than jurists, and its reach owes much to that decision. Translated into dozens of languages and a standard reference in Muslim households worldwide.
