un-Islamic

Un-Islamic describes beliefs, practices, or behaviors that contradict or violate the principles of Islam.

The term appears in religious discussions, political discourse, and legal contexts in Muslim-majority countries: The cleric declared the practice un-Islamic.

What counts as un-Islamic varies widely depending on interpretation—one scholar's deviation is another's acceptable variation.
