Editing Halal (section)

== In the Quran ==
The words ''halal'' and ''haram'' are the common terms used in the Quran to designate the categories of lawful or allowed and unlawful or forbidden. In the Quran, the [[Semitic root|root]] ''ḥ-l-l'' denotes lawfulness and may also indicate exiting the ritual state of a pilgrim and entering a profane state. In both these senses, it has an opposite meaning to that conveyed by the root ''ḥ-r-m'' (cf. ''[[haram]]'' and {{transliteration|ar|[[ihram]]}}). In a literal sense, the root ḥr-m may refer to dissolution (e.g., breaking of an oath) or alighting (e.g., of God's wrath). Lawfulness is usually indicated in the Quran by means of the verb {{transliteration|ar|ahalla}} ({{gloss|to make lawful}}), with God as the stated or implied subject.<ref name="EoQ" />
