Religion Is Ease
As we know, in worship obligations, extra hardship allows us to take concessions and perform them in an easier form. However, when it comes to prohibitions, Islam generally allows a prohibited act only in cases of iztirar (necessity or emergency involving life or wealth).
At the same time, Islam is described as a religion of ease. When a prohibition is based on a logical rule (e.g., to prevent harm), we often observe that this logic is not applied to every distant scenario where harm could theoretically occur. Some situations are prohibited, while others are not, even if they share a similar logical connection.
How do we determine when an action, even if it shares the same underlying logic as a prohibited act, is still permitted in Islam? For example, there are cases where certain actions are allowed for recreation or leisure without any necessity or iztirar. How do we recognize the boundaries where Islam allows such actions, despite the shared logic, and differentiate them from those that remain prohibited -

In the case of preemptive measures, the rule of ease is applied.
In the case of inferential haram, the rule of Iztirar and ease are both applied. It is a matter of Ijtihad, so differences in opinion are expected.
In the case of explicit haram, the rule of iztirar is applied.

@Irfan76 sir what is the criteria of Ease here? if it’s getting a little difficult and emotionally painful to avoid something that is preemptive measure, then will it be considered waivered?

The criteria is ijtihad. There is no specific thing that can be pointed out.
