36 mins confidence: observing the rules of Islam in all things
Explanation: http://www.habibihalaqas.org/2012/04/keeping-it-halal.html "This is just some advice from one sister to another, to every girl who has non-Mahram "friends" with whom she freely chats to; every girl who sincerely wants to marry for the sake of Allah, but has found herself falling in to the haram in her quest; to all my sisters out there who make excuses as to why they can't keep it halal. " https://islamictext.wordpress.com/dogs-in-the-maliki-madhab/ "The problem is balconies are still kind of in your house so is is Haram or halal to keep a puppy in a (attached to house/part of house garage) garage or balcony."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal "Halāl (Arabic: حلال ḥalāl, "permissible"), also spelled hallal or halaal, is any object or action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term covers and designates food and drink as well as matters of daily life.[1] It is one of five Ahkam—fard (compulsory), mustahabb (recommended), halal (allowed), makruh (disliked), haram (forbidden)—that define the morality of human action in Islam.[2] Mubah is also used to mean "permissible" or "allowed" in Islam."

48 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +5 être musulan, c'est être halal being Muslim means being halal
Explanation: I think that the whole point here is summed up very neatly in the last part : être musulman, c'est être halal: "being muslim means being halal". The improtant thing to retain here is the essence of the intention of the French. I see no other reading but that they are synonymous. The choice of "être" for a person is deliberate and I think that near personification with the verb is the key to an accurate rendering of the original. Also, it works equally well in English, en toute simplicité anyway, as far as I can see : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal "Halāl (Arabic: حلال ḥalāl, "permissible"), also spelled hallal or halaal, is any object or action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term covers and designates food and drink as well as matters of daily life.[1] It is one of five Ahkam—fard (compulsory), mustahabb (recommended), halal (allowed), makruh (disliked), haram (forbidden)—that define the morality of human action in Islam.[2] Mubah is also used to mean "permissible" or "allowed" in Islam."

As something which is "halal" designates, in French or in English, not only objects, but also actions, then of course "être" is highly evocative of behaviour but goes further in that it strieks at the essence of one's being (behaviour, actions, what one says, what one does, what one eats, the way one dresses, etc.). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal Dans l'Islam, le mot ḥalāl (arabe : حلال [ḥalāl], « permis », « licite ») désigne tout ce qui autorisé par la charia, la loi islamique1. Cela ne concerne pas seulement la nourriture et les boissons, mais également les habitudes de vie, la « morale musulmane2 ». Généralement, dans l'islam, toute action est considérée comme permise à moins qu'elle ne soit interdite par les Écritures islamiques3,4. Dans ce cas, elle est dite harām.
