What are my rights in making decisions?
The Islamic guarantees a sane, mature, and free individual complete freedom in making decisions and acting, as long as it does not violate Sharia or harm others. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error." And according to the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "There shall be no harm or reciprocating harm." And the saying of some wise men: "You are free as long as you do not harm, and your freedom ends where the freedom of others begins."
