The origin (ruling) of all (worldly) matters...

Question #1: What is the meaning of the principle: The origin (ruling) of all (worldly) matters is permissible until proven forbidden? Answer: This principle with the wording mentioned in the question is not correct. The correct principle is: The origin of beneficial (worldly) matters is permissible until proven forbidden, and the origin of all harmful (worldly) matters is forbidden until proven permissible. An important matter should also be known, and that is this aforementioned principle does not apply to two cases: The origin in matters related to relations with a female (sexual) is forbidden until proven permissible (marriage contract, etc) The origin related to meats (beef, chicken, etc) is also forbidden until proven permissible. This is because a Muslim is not allowed to eat meat that has not been slaughtered according to our legislation. Sheikh Abdullah al Ghudiyan
