Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: You said (may Allah preserve you) makruh tanzihiyyah, so what does that mean?

Answer:
I mean, it is not a prohibition-level dislike, because dislike is of two types: prohibition-level dislike
All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًا
[Al-Isra 17:38]
which includes shirk (associating partners with Allah) and zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and it is mentioned in Surat al-Isra, where forbidden things and major sins are listed. He said:
All that - its evil is ever, in the sight of your Lord, detested.كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًا
[Al-Isra 17:38]
I mean, prohibition-level dislike, and recommendation-level dislike, which is less than prohibition. Yes.
