Hadith 268: Hadith 268

268. Narrated Al-No'aman ibn Basheer, may Allah be pleased with them ' The Prophet said: " Both legal and illegal things are obvious, and in between them there are (unclear) doubtful matters. So whoever forsakes those doubtful (unclear) things lest he may commit a sin, will definitely avoid what is clearly illegal and whoever indulges in these (unclear) doubtful things bravely is likely to commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah's Hima (unapproachable pasture) and whoever pastures (his sheep) near it, is likely to get in it at any moment. " (Bukhari)
