Is the command in the hadith regarding dipping a fly if it falls into a drink obligatory?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the hadith about the fly and the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to dip it if it falls into a drink, is the command for obligation? If not, what is its status regarding obligation?

Answer:
The command is not for obligation but for recommendation. If you desire this drink and its use, dip the fly and drink your drink. Or if someone else is using it, pouring it out is a waste of money; pouring it out is a waste of money. The remedy is to dip it, and the concern is removed.
So you dip it as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded you. If you wish, drink it; if you do not wish, let someone else drink it, and do not destroy this money. This is a matter of recommendation, not a matter of obligation. That is, if you threw it away, you would not sin, no, but you would have contradicted the recommended Sunnah. And the recommended practice: whoever does it has a reward, and whoever leaves it has no sin upon him.
