Comparative studies take the lead among all studies, including modern linguistic studies. They are the means through which researchers get aware of other sciences and find connections among them. Thus, legislative texts are the database of the present study. The legal rule aims at achieving two issues: Doing something, which corresponds to order. What the addressee must avoid, which corresponds to prohibition that has been chosen for the present study. The present study starts with defining prohibition linguistically and grammatically, its meaning among the scholars of origins, and then its concept among those involved in the drafting of texts. The present study aims at identifying methods and expressions indicating prohibition, among which is the important expression “don’t”. Finally, punishment, which is the common result for not complying, is indicated. Linguistic, legislative drafting books, and some Quranic texts are used as the database for the present study. The Penal Code and the Civil Law are taken from the legal texts. The present study comes up with results; legislators do not use the term prohibition. Instead, they use prohibitive formulas. Legislators do not abide by what grammarians abide to. Grammarians use“ don’t + the present tense. But, legislators use everything that leads to the meaning of avoiding doing something except the grammarians’ formula because it makes legal texts subject to interpretation and diligence.
