The Difference Between Sunnah and Mustahabb
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are jurisprudential terms; for example, the questioner says, “It is recommended (sunnah) for a Muslim to do such-and-such,” or “It is recommended (mustahabb).” What is the difference between these two?
Answer:
There is no difference between them. The sunnah (recommended practice) is that which its doer is rewarded for, and its leaver is not punished. The mustahabb (recommended) is the same; it is the same. Yes.
