(14). 3054. 'Ikrimah narrated from Ibn 'Abbās: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! When I consume meat and I get around women, my desires get the best of me. So I made meat unlawful for myself.' So Allāh revealed: O you who believe! Make not unlawful the good things which Allāh has made lawful to you, and transgress not. Verily Allāh does not like the transgressors. And eat of the things which Allāh has provided for you, lawful and good."[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb. Some of them, other than 'Uthmān bin Sa'd's narration, reported it in Mursal form without "from Ibn 'Abbās" in it. Khālid Al-Ḥadhdhā' reported it from 'Ikrimah in Mursal form.

Commentary
This Verse teaches us a very fundamental principal, anything that Allāh has declared lawful, to then make it unlawful is an illegal act, as is making lawful that which Allāh has prohibited. Making things unlawful is that a person declares something unlawful for himself or for others; he does so considering it as a requirement by the religion or a Commandment of Allāh.
