Respect those in authority, Take responsibility for your own actions and words

This hadith teaches us that we should not ask about something which has not been forbidden. If we do so, it may be declared forbidden because of our enquiry. We should remember that as Muslims, we are responsible for our actions and words and must take care to ensure they are in line with Islamic teachings. We should also respect the decisions of those in authority over us and refrain from questioning them unnecessarily. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that if something is not explicitly prohibited by Allah or His Messenger ﷺ then it is permissible for us to do or say it without fear of punishment or reprimand from Him. Therefore, if we find ourselves asking questions about things which have not been explicitly prohibited by Allah or His Messenger ﷺ then this could lead to a situation where such things become prohibited due to our own actions and words.
