Mubah
Template:Short description Template:Usul al-fiqh Template:Italic title Mubāḥ (Arabic: مباح) is an Arabic word roughly meaning "permitted",[1] which has technical uses in Islamic law. "Mubah" is an Islamic jurisprudential term that refers to an action for which a person has no specific obligation. Consequently, performing or abstaining from it is considered equally permissible, and neither action results in reward or punishment from the perspective of God in Islam.[2][3]
In uṣūl al-fiqh (Template:Langx), mubāḥ is one of the five degrees of approval (ahkam):
- Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".) - compulsory, obligatory
- Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".) - recommended
- Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".) - neutral, not involving God's judgment
- Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".) - disliked, reprehensible
- Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".) - forbidden
Mubah is commonly translated as "neutral" or "permitted" in English.,[4][5] "indifferent"[6] or "(merely) permitted".[6][7] It refers to an action that is not mandatory, recommended, reprehensible or forbidden, and thus involves no judgement from God.[4] Assigning acts to this legal category reflects a deliberate choice rather than an oversight on the part of jurists.[5]
In Islamic property law, the term mubāḥ refers to things which have no owner. It is similar to the concept res nullius used in Roman law and common law.[8]
