English translation

3367. It was narrated that Salmân Al-Fârisi said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was asked about ghee, cheese and wild donkeys. He said: 'What is lawful is that which Allâh has permitted, in His Book and what is unlawful is that which Allâh has forbidden in His Book. What He remained silent about is what is pardoned.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

3367 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السُّدِّيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ السَّمْنِ، وَالْجُبْنِ، وَالْفِرَاءِ قَالَ: «الْحَلَالُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ، وَالْحَرَامُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ، وَمَا سَكَتَ عَنْهُ، فَهُوَ مِمَّا عَفَا عَنْهُ»

a. Allâh's Book here means the Commands of Allâh which refers to both the Qur'ân and the Hadith. b. Those things which are free from the basis of prohibitions are lawful whether they are mentioned in the Qur'ân or not.
