Actions are originally bound by the Shari’ah rules. Hence, no action should be undertaken unless its rule is known. The things on the other side are originally Mubah (permitted) as long as there is no evidence that stipulates prohibition.

The Muslim is commanded to conduct his actions according to the Shari’ah rules. Allah (swt) says

“But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among.” (TMQ 4:65). He (swt) also says,

“And whatever the Messenger (pbuh) has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from.” (TMQ 59:7).

Therefore, the origin is that the Muslim restricts himself to the Shari’ah rules. Besides that the Shari’ah principle states: “No rule before the advent of Shari’ah”. In other words, no matter should be given any rule whatsoever before the advent of the rule of Allah (swt) pertaining it. Hence, before the advent of Allah’s (swt) rule, no matter should be given any rule. This means that it should not be given the rule of permissibility, for the Ibaha is a Shari’ah rule that must be established through the address of the Legislator; otherwise it cannot be considered a Shari’ah rule. This is so because the Shari’ah rule is the speech of the Legislator related to the actions of the worshippers. Therefore, anything that has not been mentioned in the address of the Legislator cannot be considered a Shari’ah rule. Therefore, permissibility is not the non-advent of a prohibition, it is rather the advent of Shari’ah evidence stipulating the Mubah (permitted); in other words, the advent of the choice from the Legislator to either undertake or abstain. Therefore, the origin is the abidance by the speech of the Legislator, not the Ibahah; because the rule of Ibahah itself requires a confirmation from the speech of the Legislator. This principle is general, covering the actions and the things. So if a Muslim wanted to perform any action, it would be incumbent upon him to abide by the rule of Allah (swt) pertaining that action. Therefore, he must search for that rule until he knows it and abides by it. In the same manner if a Muslim wanted to take or give anything, whatever that object may be, it is incumbent upon him to abide by the rule of Allah (swt) regarding that object. So he must search for that rule until he knows it and abides by it. This is what the verses and the hadith have indicated in their literal indication and their understanding. Therefore, it is forbidden for a Muslim to undertake any action or to act towards anything upon other than the Shari’ah rule; rather he is obliged to abide by the Shari’ah rule in every action he undertakes and in every matter.
