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 1BrowseCompareSelect all 10Alcohol and intoxicants are forbiddenProhibitions30 linksUsury (riba) is forbiddenProhibitions29 linksNo halal or kosher ritual meat (kutha)Prohibitions3 linksNo tobacco or intoxicantsProhibitions2 linksAlcohol, tobacco, coffee and tea are forbiddenProhibitions2 linksBidah: Innovation in Religion Is to Be RejectedProhibitions3 linksMusic and Dance Have No Place on the PathProhibitions3 linksVisiting Tombs to Seek Intercession Is ForbiddenProhibitions2 linksThe Four Regulative Principles Forbid Meat, Intoxication, Illicit Sex and GamblingProhibitions2 linksInitiatory Knowledge Is Restricted to the Lineage and Is Not Taught Outside ItProhibitions1 linkLearn 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.Sources1.
