«المكروه كراهة تحريم: وهو ما طلب ترك فعله بدليل فيه شبهة»
Makruh tahrimi is conduct that one is required to avoid, with the prohibition established through evidence containing an element of non-conclusiveness.
The Hanafi examples in the text concern predatory animals with fangs, predatory birds with talons, and domestic donkey meat. Their fuller legal debates belong elsewhere; here the point is the grade of the evidence supporting restraint.
This category must not be reduced to a casual personal dislike. Avoidance remains binding within the author's classification.
