Grapepark · Answer

I don't mean for diet and food.
I mean for example about marriage. "marriage of a brother and sister is religiously forbidden." what is its antonym?
Marriage of two strangers is religiously legitimate/impunible/halal/or what?

Khoff · Answer

I would suggest "permitted" (or "permissible") and "prohibited."

("Kosher" would not be correct in your example. Technically, "kosher" applies only to food and related matters. Using it to mean "permitted" in a broader sense is very informal/slang.)

It is not lawful for any man to have more than one wife, nor for any woman to have more than one husband, at the same time. Gen. 2:24;
Matt. 19:5-6; Prov. 2:17; Mal. 2:14; Hos. 2:16-20; Jer. 50:5; Eze. 16:8; Gal. 3:15, 17.

After the death of one party the other party may lawfully marry another. Matt. 19:4-6; Rom.
7:2-3; Gen. 2:24-25; 1 Cor. 7:39.

The validity of marriage depends on the mutual agreement of the parties

The marriage of Christians should ordinarily be solemnized by an ordained minister of the Gospel(Ithink be solemnized=observe the rituals).

In the case of adultery resulting in abandonment after marriage, it is lawful for the innocent party
to divorce;

-----------------------------------------------
All schools of Muslim law accept that abortion is permitted if continuing the pregnancy would put the mother's life in real danger. This is the only reason accepted for abortion after 120 days of the pregnancy.

The Islamic view is based on the very high priority the faith gives to the sanctity of life.

The same (and similar) texts also ban abortion on social or financial grounds relating to the mother or the rest of the family...

If it is confirmed in the early period of pregnancy that a foetus suffers from a defect that can't be treated and that will cause great suffering to the child, a number of scholars would say that it is permissible to abort, provided that the pregnancy is less than 120 days old.

There is almost unanimous opinion that after 120 days an abortion is not permissible unless the defect in the embryo puts the mother's life in danger.

In recent times in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khameni has issued a fatwa permitting abortion for foetuses under 10 weeks shown to have the genetic blood disorder thalassemia.

But Islam is also a religion of compassion, and if there are serious problems, *** sometimes doesn't require his creatures to practice his law. So under some conditions-~~such as parents' poverty or overpopulation~~-then abortion is allowed,Grand Ayatollah Yusuf Saanei quoted in Los Angeles Times, December 29, 2000

believe that the value of life is the same whether this embryo is the result of fornication with relatives or non-relatives or valid marriage.In Sharia life has the same value in all cases.Sheikh M. A. Al-Salami, Third Symposium on Medical JurisprudenceIn Egypt (where abortion is illegal) in June 2004, Muhammad Sayed Tantawi, the Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar, approved a draft law allowing women to abort a pregnancy that is the result of rape. The law would also make it legal for women to undergo an abortion more than four months after conception.

Islam does not permit abortion where an unwanted pregnancy is the result of unforced adultery.

NOTE:The above is not my opnion.it just shows the usage.

Thus, according to the register, I think 'lawful' and 'unlawful' is best words to use.But one needs to somehow identify the set of laws.

Unclean has another meaning.unclean means not clean(in the religious sense).Like Pork is unclean in islam.
Not everything that is unlawful is unclean, although anything that is unclean is unlawful to eat.
