Haram

Haram (Arabic: حَرَام) refers to something that is forbidden by Islamic law. A haram action that is carried out generally constitutes a sin and requires repentance to be absolved of that sin. Haram actions are typically outlined in the Quran and the Sunnah, although there is sometimes a difference of opinion among scholars regarding what is or isn’t haram in certain matters. The antonym of haram is “halal”.
