The Principle of Interpreting Prohibition as Dislike in the Chapter of Etiquette

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what makes the prohibition regarding the deafening adhan one of dislike, despite the explicitness of the prohibition? Is there a general principle for interpreting prohibition as dislike? I have heard that if a command or prohibition is in the chapter of etiquette, it is for recommendation. If it is in the chapter of etiquette, it is for recommendation. Is this correct?

Answer:
Yes, this is a principle with him: if the prohibition is in the chapter of etiquette, it is for the dislike of reprehensibility, and if it is a command, it is for recommendation.
