The article is a semantic analysis of the word halal using the derivational morphology, thematic tãfāsīru, and contextual study of hadith. The word halal is frequently used to suggest the permissibility of a specific issue according to Islamic law. Previous studies emphasized the legal and conventional usage of the word. This study aims to take a look into the meaning by studying the minor derivates and supreme derivates of the word found in the Quran. 8 minor derivates and 4 supreme derivates are found using the Quranic Arabic Corpus and Almaany dictionaries. Common themes are found between the word halal and its derivates. The themes are- the declaration of the legitimacy of a matter, being prudent, eliminating harm, and positive impact. To further corroborate the findings 7 verses from Surah Al Baqarah containing the minor derivates of the word halal are studied. The common themes can be found in all 7 verses dealing with seven different laws that include- food, conjugal relation, place of sacrifice, dowry, pregnancy, divorce, and usury. The theme and context of Surah Al Baqarah and its 7 verses are studied from Pondering Upon the Quran by Islahi and Tãfāsīru Ibn Katheer along with relevant hadith, and scholars’ opinions. The study shows the usage of derivational morphology to learn Quranic vocabulary. The common themes can also act as criteria to evaluate conventional issues for example the halal industry.
