In Islamic terminology, something which is makruh or makrooh (, transliteration: makrooh or makrūh) is "disliked", literally "detestable" or "abominable". This is one of the Ahkam ( al-ahkam al-khamsa) in Islamic law – wajib/fard (obligatory), Mustahabb/mandub (recommended), mubah (neutral), makruh (disapproved), haram (forbidden).
Though a makruh act is not haraam (forbidden) or subject to punishment, a person who abstains from this act will be rewarded. are encouraged to avoid such actions when or as possible. It is one of the degrees of approval ( ahkam) in sharia. In the terminology of Islamic jurisprudence, "Makruh" refers to an action that is not forbidden to do, but had better to be abandoned.
Acts considered makruh can vary between different Madhhab due to differing scholarly interpretations of the Quran and Hadith, with Hanafi scholars in particular differing from the other Madhhab in regard to classification of makruh.
Makruh is considered to be of two types:
An example of a food which is considered makruh for Muslims of the Hanafi school is (but only for the Hanafi school).Lawful to you is the pursuit of water game and its use for food, for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel; ….5:96. Hanafis believe in refraining from consuming prawns and therefore choose to eat something else if possible. There are, however, shared attitudes within the Hanafi school of whether shrimp are considered water game and are thereby halal.
An example in regards to clothing that is considered makruh is wearing garments below the ankle. However, debate among scholars, particularly of the Maliki school, has led to some considering it haram while others maintain it is makruh.
While the wearing of silk garments and gold jewelry by men is considered haram in all other schools, the Hanafi school considers it makruh tahrimi due to doubt in the chain of narration and authenticity of the Hadith in which this evidence is sourced.
Another example of makruh tahrimi is making an offer to buy something that has an offer already placed by another person. Similarly to the rule on men and silk garments, the Hanafi school considers it makruh tahrimi since the Hadith in which the evidence is found has some doubt to the chain of narration.
Other examples of makruh acts in Islam include talking while taking ablutions for prayer and slaughtering an animal for food where other animals of its kind can see it.
