What is disliked by Allah is originally forbidden (), as stated in His Almighty saying: "All that – evil of it has been with your Lord disliked (makrooh)." The early Muslims (Salaf) used "karahah" (dislike) in its original meaning, while later scholars specialized it to refer to what is not forbidden.
