Does the verse (O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if made manifest to you, would trouble you. And if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made manifest to you. Allah has pardoned them, and Allah is Forgiving and Clement) indicate that committing a forbidden act not explicitly stated is less severe than committing a forbidden act that is explicitly stated?

The prohibition against being overly strict and delving deeply into matters not explicitly mentioned by Allah, whether through a command or a prohibition, is based on His saying: "O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you." This is also because excessive questioning and disagreement were the cause of the destruction of previous nations.

Legal prohibitions are not only known by explicit texts in the Quran and Sunnah but also through ijtihad (independent reasoning) and istinbat (derivation), such as general and inclusive indications, or implications and warnings (fahwa and tanbih), or the concept of opposition (mafhum al-mukhalafah), or analogy (qiyas). This kind of inquiry is not among the prohibited questions; rather, it is a necessary form of ijtihad.

Derived prohibitions are of two types: 1. Prohibitions agreed upon by scholars, and their sanctity is as strong as that of textually explicit prohibitions. 2. Prohibitions subject to scholarly disagreement, and their sanctity is less severe than that of textually explicit ones. No harsh condemnation should be directed at those who differ regarding them.
