The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1192 (#Ḥadīth #39)

39- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَكُونُ فِيهِ حَلالٌ وَحَرَامٌ فَهُوَ حَلالٌ لَكَ أَبَداً حَتَّى أَنْ تَعْرِفَ الْحَرَامَ مِنْهُ بِعَيْنِهِ فَتَدَعَهُ.

39. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘All things that exist in lawful and unlawful forms are considered lawful for you until you recognize it (the unlawful one) to be exactly the unlawful item, then you must avoid it.’”
