أَمِنْwas it from

Example sentences

• أَمِنْ حَلالُ كَانَ أَمْ مِنْ حَرَامٍ؟

  Was it lawful, or was it from something forbidden?

  أَمِنْ — was it from. A blend of a yes/no question marker and the preposition 'from'. The question marker opens a 'was it...?' inquiry and pairs later with 'or' to offer two alternatives, while the bundled preposition sets up 'from [a lawful source]'. So this single word both asks and starts naming the first option.
