The Difference Between What Is Wrong and What Is Disliked
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The claim that failing to denounce what is wrong, whether by tongue, heart, or hand, constitutes disbelief, raises several questions, among them: Is there a difference between the various types of what is wrong in this context?
Answer:
What is called "munkar" (what is wrong) is that which contradicts the command of Allah and the command of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the definition of munkar. What Allah has forbidden is munkar, and it is forbidden (haram). As for what is disliked (makruh), whether it is disliked in a lesser degree (tanzih) or a stronger degree, leaving it or doing it is not called munkar; rather, it is called contrary to what is best. However, leaving an obligatory act (wajib) and doing a forbidden act (haram)—this is the munkar. This is what is denounced according to one’s ability, by hand, by tongue, or by heart, at the very least. Yes.
