 | | The word HARAAM is used for inviolable ordinances and prohibitions of Allah. |
 | | Marrying with the following women is HARAAM: Your mothers, daughters, sisters, father's sisters, mother's sisters, brother's daughters, sister's daughters, foster-mothers who have ever nursed you, foster-sisters, your wives' mothers, your step-daughters unless you have divorced their mother without being intimate with her. |
 | | In cases when one is forced by necessity [and there is danger of death], those things which are HARAAM for eating in normal circumstance, can be eaten without wilful disobedience nor transgressing the limits [2:173, 5:3, 6:145, 16:115]. |
