What does HARAM mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Forbidden or not permitted according to Islamic religious law, in contrast with what is halal, or permitted.
Haram covers a wide range of things Islamic teaching identifies as off-limits, including certain foods such as pork and alcohol, and specific financial practices such as charging interest. The word appears throughout religious texts, everyday conversation among Muslims, and food labeling that marks products as unsuitable under religious dietary rules. Something described as haram sits opposite halal, so the two words are commonly taught and used together.
