haram

Forbidden under the laws of Islam. The term may be applied to transgressions in all aspects of life, from unlawful foodstuffs, such as meat from an animal that has not been killed in the prescribed way, to drinking intoxicating liquor and adultery. The distinction between what is halal (lawful) and what is haram is made by Allah, both through the Koran (or Quran or Qur'an) and in the teachings of Muhammad, making it clear to Muslims how to conduct their whole life.
