Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

What is the [minimum] limit of the difficulty (al-haraj) that lifts the prohibition? Is exorbitant price [for a halãl item] that could still be bought with [financial] strain or by getting a loan a [valid] example that would make a harãm [but cheap alternative] item permissible religiously?

Answer

The circumstances are different in this [case], and the criterion is the extreme hardship that is not normally tolerable.
