In Islamic terminology, Makruh or Makrooh is a disliked or offensive act, which is one of the five categories in Islamic law. It is something that the Lawgiver asks Muslims not to do, but not in a definitive manner. It is not haram (forbidden) or subject to punishment, but a person who abstains from this act will be rewarded. Muslims are encouraged to avoid such actions when or as possible. Makruh is divided into two types: Makruh Tahrimi and Makruh Tanzihi. Makruh Tahrimi is an action disliked in the same vein as haram actions, but it does not have definitive proof and instead uses speculative evidence for its prohibition. Unlike haram actions, committing these types of actions does not lead to unfaithfulness. This type of Makruh is primarily cited by Hanafi scholars when issuing Fatwa, and it is not used by scholars of other madhhabs. Makruh Tanzihi is not strictly forbidden according to scholars, but it is disliked if done. Engaging in actions that are considered this type of Makruh will not lead to punishment, but avoiding these types of actions will bring one closer to God. This type of Makruh is primarily used by all madhhabs and is interchangeable with the word Makruh in most cases. Some examples of Makruh actions include wearing black clothing, except for a cloak, a turban, and mourning for Ahlul Bayt, eating in the bathroom, eating the kidney of a Halal animal, and speaking about untruthful matters.
