What is Haram? What is gunah? What are the differences between these two?
Answer
(Fatwa: 620/620/M=1433)
Shariah commandments are of two kinds:
(1) Mamurat: (orders which we are asked to obey).
(2) Manhiyat: (prohibitions which we are asked to avoid).
Haram is the high status of prohibition and sin is its result.
