May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: It is well known that dislike (karakhat) among the Salaf means prohibition. Does Imam Ahmad mean prohibition by his dislike of reciting according to Hamzah and al-Kisa’i, and of the major idgham of Abu ‘Amr?
Answer:
That is the apparent meaning, that is the apparent meaning, because dislike (karakhat) came in the Qur’an to mean prohibition, as Allah the Exalted said when He mentioned shirk (associating partners with Allah), killing the soul, undutifulness to parents, and zina (unlawful sexual intercourse):[Al-Isra 17:38] meaning it is forbidden.
