Yasser El Helw (asker) Apr 6, 2008:
"Prohibitions" is my choice but do I use it for "Mo7aramat" or "nawahi"? What other option can be used for the other word?

prohibitions or taboos

a taboo is less binding than a prohibition, as it is only a custom:

taboo - a religious custom that forbids a particular activity because it may offend God

"unlawful under Sharee'ah"...Prohibitions

I would say the first for "Muharamaat" and the second for "Nawaahi". The word "Sharee'ah" is widely acknowledged in the English language and this is exactly what's meant by "muharamaat", which are things that are forbidden in the Islamic law
