*What is halal does not need justification, but the haram does.*

There is a very well known shar'i maxim that goes: "The default in matters is permissibility", with the maxim based on the verse, "It is He who created all that is on the earth for you." (2:29)
The basic understanding is that things are to be taken as halal (permitted) unless there is something that compellingly informs us that it is haram (impermissible). The practical points that come out of this:
1. Not godly attitude that subservience built on restrictions. Diligence in abstaining from maharim comes AFTER strongly establishing God doesn't want those things for us. Musnt view shariah as restrictive framework but as constitutive - more about what we DO than what we don't.
