​The Obscure Matter

Leave that which fills you with doubts for that which does not, for the one who grazes his animals around the protected area risks entering into it.

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  حَلالٌ بَيِّنٌ ، وحَرامٌ بَيِّنٌ ، وشُبُهاتٌ بَينَ ذلكَ ، فَمَن تَرَكَ الشُّبُهاتِ نَجا مِنَ المُحَرَّماتِ ، ومَن أخَذَ بِالشُّبُهاتِ ارتَكَبَ المُحَرَّماتِ وهَلَكَ مِن حيثُ لا يَعلَمُ . الكافي : 1 / 68 / 10 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The lawful is evidently clear, and the unlawful is evidently clear, and obscurities fall between these two. He who abandons these obscurities is saved from the prohibited things, whereas one who delves into obscurities also ends up committing prohibited acts and falls into disaster whence he knows not.' al-Kafi, v. 1, p. 68, no. 10

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  دَعْ ما يَرِيبُكَ إلى‏ ما لا يَرِيبُكَ ، فَمَن رَعى‏ حَو لَ الحِمى‏ يُوشِكْ أن يَقَعَ فيهِ. تنبيه الخواطر : 1 / 52 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Leave that which fills you with doubts for that which does not, for the one who grazes his animals around the protected area risks entering into it.' Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 1, p. 52
