The answer

Tahrimi Karahah (Prohibitory Dislike) refers to what has been established as a religious prohibition, with no mitigating factor to remove it from the realm of prohibition. Examples include the prohibitions mentioned in Surat Al-Isra, where Allah Almighty says: "All that – evil of it has been detestable to your Lord." (17:38) And what is stated in the : "Indeed, Allah dislikes for you gossip, excessive questioning, and squandering of wealth."

Tanzihi Karahah (Disapproving Dislike), on the other hand, refers to what has been prohibited, but there is evidence that mitigates it from being strictly forbidden. An example is drinking while standing, as a prohibition was mentioned, yet it was also reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, drank while standing. Another example is the prohibition of drinking directly from the mouth of a waterskin.
