Mubāḥ ( Arabic: مباح) is an Arabic word roughly meaning "permitted", [1] which has technical uses in Islamic law.
In uṣūl al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence), mubāḥ is one of the five degrees of approval ( ahkam):
Mubah is commonly translated as "neutral" or "permitted" in English., [2] [3] "indifferent" [4] or "(merely) permitted". [4] [5] It refers to an action that is not mandatory, recommended, reprehensible or forbidden, and thus involves no judgement from God. [2] Assigning acts to this legal category reflects a deliberate choice rather than an oversight on the part of jurists. [3]
In Islamic property law, the term mubāḥ refers to things which have no owner. It is similar to the concept res nullius used in Roman law and common law. [6]
