In Islamic terminology, something which
is Makruh (Arabic مكروه, also transcribed makrouh, makrūh
etc.) is a disliked or offensive act (literally "hated"). Though
it is not haram (forbidden) and not punishable, a person who
abstains from this action will be rewarded. Thus Muslims should
avoid such actions when possible. This is one of the degrees of
approval (ahkam) in Islamic law.
