سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ لَكَ حَلَالٌ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ حَرَامٌ بِعَيْنِهِ فَتَدَعَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِكَ وَ ذَلِكَ مِثْلُ الثَّوْبِ يَكُونُ قَدِ اشْتَرَيْتَهُ وَ هُوَ سَرِقَةٌ أَوِ الْمَمْلُوكِ عِنْدَكَ وَ لَعَلَّهُ حُرٌّ قَدْ بَاعَ نَفْسَهُ أَوْ خُدِعَ فَبِيعَ أَوْ قُهِرَ أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ تَحْتَكَ وَ هِيَ أُخْتُكَ أَوْ رَضِيعَتُكَ وَ الْأَشْيَاءُ كُلُّهَا عَلَى هَذَا حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَ لَكَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ تَقُومَ بِهِ الْبَيِّنَةُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Everything is Permissible for you until you know that it is Prohibited exactly, so leave it from yourself, and (for example) that is like the cloth which you happened to have bought it but it turned out to be stolen, or (for example) the owned slave with you and perhaps he is free and has sold himself, or has been cheated and was sold, or compelled, or a woman under you (wife) but she is your (half/foster) sister, or is the one breast-fed by your mother or sister or wife.., and all such things likewise, until it becomes clear that they are otherwise or testimony proves otherwise’.
