I decided to make a separate thread going on the last post in the "earrings for men" topic, because this is something I don't understand.
I'm not trying to be offensive, but I don't see the logic in having five different classifications for an act, particularly Mustahabb, Mubah, & Makruh (recommended, neutral, detestable,). Why not just say that these acts are either required, forbidden, or allowed?
Can someone point me in the direction of an explanation for this or better yet, explain it to me themselves?
