Does the word "obligatory" in the language mean "recommended"?

The questioner : We need to respond to those who say that the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that something is obligatory is, in the Arabic language, understood to mean what is befitting, as in their saying, "Your right upon me is obligatory." They argue that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a clear Arabic tongue, so he is among the people of the language, and thus he speaks as one of the people of the language.

The Shaykh : Now, does the word "obligatory" in the language only come to mean "recommended"? Now, what is the original meaning?

The questioner : He also says, "Be patient with the conscience."

The Shaykh : No, what is the original meaning only?

The questioner : Certainly, it is present.

The Shaykh : Now, the original meaning is that it comes for the obligatory. If the original meaning is that it comes for the obligatory, then the obligatory is to apply the texts according to their apparent meaning. Furthermore, regarding the statement "His right upon him is obligatory," first, who said that this phrase is inherited from the Arabs? It may be a customary phrase. Then, the right of a Muslim upon a Muslim is obligatory; the original ruling in it is obligation. This is the original ruling. Therefore, whoever excludes one of the five rights that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered in his statement, "The right of a Muslim upon a Muslim is five," by claiming that it is a recommendation, must seek evidence.
