A prohibition is recorded here where the tradition frames it as a rule binding on members, as distinct from a taboo, which is framed as danger inhering in the thing itself. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedBeliefs & Restrictions 1Learn MoreThe prohibitions This group gathers prohibitions, the acts a tradition forbids, the "thou shalt nots" by which it marks the boundaries of right conduct and ritual purity. Prohibitions define a community as much by what it refuses as by what it affirms. The browser will find the prohibitions the atlas gathers. The entries describe each in its own terms, noting the tradition that upholds it and the reason given for the prohibition.All ProhibitionsFilter Results10 entriesStatus Within the TraditionAllBinding, without a formal definition (8)Genuinely disputed within the tradition (1)Rejected, or not held, within this tradition (1)Origin Period Start YearAll622 (1)Affirmation OfAllFour Regulative Principles (1)Category of BeliefAllCore Tenets (1)Dietary Restrictions (1)Prohibitions (3)TraditionAllAhmadiyya (2)Ibadism (2)ISKCON (Hare Krishna) (1)Ismailism (2)Khalsa (2)Kharijites (2)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)Nation of Islam (1)Palo Mayombe (1)Quranism (2)Salafism (5)Shia (Twelver) (2)Sufism (2)Sunni (2)Wahhabism (5)Zaidiyyah (2)SubjectAllCommunity and its boundaries (2)Ethics and conduct (2)Food and purity (4)Ritual and worship (2)ObligationAllObligatory (6)Obligatory on those who meet its conditions (1)Undertaken only with authorisation or transmission (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 10Alcohol and intoxicants are forbiddenProhibitionsAlcohol, tobacco, coffee and tea are forbiddenProhibitionsBidah: Innovation in Religion Is to Be RejectedProhibitionsInitiatory Knowledge Is Restricted to the Lineage and Is Not Taught Outside ItProhibitionsMusic and Dance Have No Place on the PathProhibitionsNo halal or kosher ritual meat (kutha)ProhibitionsNo tobacco or intoxicantsProhibitionsThe Four Regulative Principles Forbid Meat, Intoxication, Illicit Sex and GamblingProhibitionsUsury (riba) is forbiddenProhibitionsVisiting Tombs to Seek Intercession Is ForbiddenProhibitionsSources1.
