You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Usul al-fiqh))
In [[Islamic]] terminology, something which is '''makruh''' or '''makrooh''' (((lang-ar|مكروه)), [[transliteration|transliterated]]: ''makrooh'' or ''makrūh'') is "disliked", literally "detestable" or "abominable".<ref name="aldin" /> This is one of the [[Ahkam|five categories]] (''al-ahkam al-khamsa'') in Islamic law – ''[[wajib]]/[[fard]]'' (obligatory), ''[[Mustahabb]]/mandub'' (recommended), ''[[mubah]]'' (neutral), ''makruh'' (disapproved), ''[[haram]]'' (forbidden).<ref name="CampoEoI">((cite book|last1=Campo|first1=Juan Eduardo|title=Encyclopedia of Islam|year=2009|publisher=infobase|page=284|isbn=9781438126968|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OZbyz_Hr-eIC&q=Makruh+haram+halal&pg=PA284|access-date=July 8, 2014))</ref>

Though a ''makruh'' act is not ''[[haraam|haram]]'' (forbidden) or subject to punishment, a person who abstains from this act will be rewarded.<ref name="aldin" /> [[Muslim]]s are encouraged to avoid such actions when or as possible. It is one of the degrees of approval (''[[ahkam]]'') in [[sharia|Islamic law]].

Acts considered ''makruh'' can vary between different [[Madhhab|madhhabs]] due to differing scholarly interpretations of the [[Quran]] and [[Hadith]], with [[Hanafi]] scholars in particular differing from the other [[Madhhab|madhhabs]] in regard to classification of ''makruh''.<ref name=":1">((Cite book |last=Kamali |first=Mohammad Hashim |url=https://asimiqbal2nd.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/islamic-law.pdf |title=Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence |publisher=Islamic Texts Society |year=2005 |isbn=978-0946621828 |edition=3rd |pages=285, 278, 287, 288 |language=en))</ref>

== Overview ==
Actions that are reprehensible and violate rules of [[Fiqh]] are considered to be ''makruh.''<ref name=":02">((Cite book |last=Desai |first=Shabbir Ahmed |url=https://islamicbulletin.org/en/ebooks/resources/taleemul_haq.pdf |title=Ta'leemul Haq |publisher=Adam Publishers IND |year=2010 |isbn=978-8171015863 |edition= |pages=17, 18, 29, 148, 173 |language=ar, en))</ref>

''Makruh'' is considered to be of two types:

* ''Makruh Tahrimi'', مکروہ تَحریمی - Actions disliked in the same vein as [[haram]] actions, but does not have definitive proof and instead uses speculative evidence for their prohibition. Unlike haram actions, committing these types of actions does not lead to unfaithfulness. This type of ''makruh'' is primarily cited by Hanafi scholars when issuing [[Fatwa]], and is not used by scholars of other [[Madhhab|madhhabs]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":02" />
* ''Makruh Tanzihi'', مکروه تنزیهی - Not strictly forbidden according to scholars, but is disliked if done. Engaging in actions that are considered this type of ''makruh'' will not lead to punishment, but avoiding these types of actions will bring one closer to God. This type of ''makruh'' is primarily used by all [[Madhhab|madhhabs]], and is interchangeable with the word ''makruh'' in most cases.<ref name=":1" />
The [[Hanafi]] school uses the ''makruh tahrimi'' classification on the basis that there is doubt (but not extremely significant) in the chain of narration and/or authenticity of a [[Hadith]] that provides evidence that a particular act is considered haram. All other [[Madhhab|madhhabs]] would consider classifying an act as haram in this case.<ref name=":1" />

==Examples==
[[File:Makruh.png|thumb|The word makruh written in Arabic. Commonly seen in texts, both transliterated and translated, in order to provide a visual marker for actions that fall under this category in Fiqh.]]
Some of the examples of something considered ''makruh'' are the use of a great amount of water when performing [[ritual purification]]s known as the ''[[wudu]]'' (partial ablution, or ''abdest'') and ''[[ghusl]]'' (full ablution) or the consumption of [[garlic]] before attending the mosque or socializing with others.<ref name=aldin>((cite book |last1=al-Dīn |first1=Mūʼil Yūsuf ʻIzz |title=Islamic Law: From Historical Foundations to Contemporary Practice |year=2004 |publisher=Edinburgh University Press |page=98 |isbn=9780748614592 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fQzVVL8zI0sC&q=Makruh+example&pg=PA98 |access-date=July 8, 2014))</ref><ref name=women-sonbol>((cite book |editor1-last=Sonbol |editor1-first=Amira El Azhary |title=Women, the Family, and Divorce Laws in Islamic History |date=June 1996 |publisher=Syracuse University Press |page=265 |isbn=9780815603832 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FLUgscG6zFYC&q=Makruh+divorce&pg=PA265 |access-date=July 8, 2014))</ref>

An example of a food which is considered ''makruh'' for Muslims of the [[Hanafi school]] is [[prawn]]s (but only for the Hanafi school).<ref>Lawful to you is the pursuit of water game and its use for food, for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel; ….[5:96].</ref> There are, however, shared attitudes within the Hanafi school of whether shrimp are considered water game and are thereby ''[[halal]]''. Hanafis believe in refraining from it and in eating something else if possible.<ref>((citation |url=http://spa.qibla.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=2990&CATE=107 |title=Ruling on Shrimp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202222206/http://spa.qibla.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=2990&CATE=107 |archive-date=2013-12-02))</ref>

An example in regards to clothing that is considered ''makruh'' is wearing garments below the ankle. However, debate among scholars, particularly of the [[Maliki]] school, has led to some considering it haram while others maintain it is ''makruh''.<ref>((Cite book |last=Al-Uthaymin |first=Muhammad bin Salah |url=http://archive.org/details/TheFoundationsOfTheKnowledgeOfUsool |title=The Foundations Of The Knowledge Of Usool |publisher=5 Pillars Publishing |year=2013 |pages=68 |language=English |asin=B00DTWKITE))</ref>

While the wearing of silk garments and gold jewelry by men is considered haram in all other schools, the Hanafi school considers it ''makruh tahrimi'' due to doubt in the chain of narration and authenticity of the Hadith in which this evidence is sourced.<ref name=":1" />

Another example of ''makruh tahrimi'' is making an offer to buy something that has an offer already placed by another person. Similarly to the rule on men and silk garments, the Hanafi school considers it ''makruh tahrimi'' since the Hadith in which the evidence is found has some doubt to the chain of narration.<ref name=":1" /> 

Other examples of ''makruh'' acts in Islam include talking while taking ablutions for prayer and slaughtering an animal for food where other animals of its kind can see it.<ref name=":02" />
