What is the definition of each of the following: Al-Mandūb (the recommended), Al-Wājib (the obligatory), Al-Makrūh (the disliked), Al-Sunnah Al-Mu'akkadah (the emphasized Sunnah), and Al-Fāsiq (the dissolute/transgressor)?
Mandub (Recommended): That which the Lawgiver has commanded, but not in an obligating manner. Its doer is rewarded, and its ترك (omitter) is not sinful.
(Obligatory): That which the Lawgiver has commanded in an obligating manner. Its doer is rewarded, and its omittter is sinful.
(Disliked): That which the Lawgiver has forbidden, but not in an obligating manner. Its omittter is rewarded for abstaining out of obedience, and its doer is not sinful.
Mu'akkadah (Emphasized Sunnah): Like the Mandub, except that the Law has emphasized its performance.
Fasiq (Transgressor): One who commits major sins or persistently commits minor sins.
