“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about ghee, cheese and wild donkeys. He said: ‘What is lawful is that which Allah has permitted, in His Book and what is unlawful is that which Allah has forbidden in His Book. What He remained silent about is what is pardoned.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3367)

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجُبْنِ وَالسَّمْنِ وَالْفِرَاءِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْحَلَالُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَالْحَرَامُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَمَا سَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ»

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about fat, cheese, and furs, so he said: 'The lawful is what Allah made lawful in His Book, the unlawful is what Allah made unlawful in his Book, and what He was silent about; then it is among that for which He has pardoned.'"  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] There is something on this topic from Al-Mughirah, and this Hadith is Gharib, we do not know of it being Marfu' except from this route. Sufyan and others reported it from Sulaiman At-Taimi, from Abu 'Uthman, from Salman as his own saying. It is as if the Mawquf narration is more correct. I asked Al-Bukhari about this Hadith and he said: 'I do not think it is preserved. Sufyan reported it from Sulaiman At-Taimi from Abu 'Uthman, from Salman in Mawquf form.' Al-Bukhari said: "Saif bin Harun is Muqarib (Average) in Hadith, and as for Saif bin Muhammad from 'Asim, his narrations are left."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about cheese, ghee, and fur. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The halal is what Allah has made lawful in the Quran, and the haram is what Allah has made forbidden in the Quran, and whatever He has remained silent about is forgiven." This hadith was narrated by Sa'if bin Harun from At-Taymi from Abu Uthman from Salman, with the exception that he said in his book, "And that is subject to the will of Allah."
