if you scroll down to "ask the scholar", you'll find a group of categories.
at least that will give you an idea.

when one's heart feels "heavy", "uncomfortable", ... then this is a sign that a bad deed might have been committed. In general, everything that has not been explicitly forbidden is lawful.
