Something forbidden example

Although I can’t find a text saying exactly this, making something permissible forbidden or making something forbidden permissible is a (I think major) sin in Islam; see e.g. 16:116 for something related. Now this is clear in the case of someone outright claiming that something that is known to be halal by consensus – such as drinking water – is haram, or claiming that something that is known to be haram by consensus – such as zina – is halal. This could possibly even be considered shirk, I’m not entirely sure.
