  • What Is The Difference Between Mushtabeh (grey Area) And Mashqooq (doubtful)?

    Posted by Mohammad Ali Soomro on October 2, 2024 at 5:17 am

    I want to ask that what is the real difference between a Mushtabeh thing and a Mashqooq thing. What is difference between Shubha and Shaq and what should be our behavior towards them according to Islam?

    Ghamdi Sahab in this video talked about it but I need some elaboration with examples so that I can grasp it and apply it in my life that where am I falling into shuba and where am I falling into Shaq

    Mutashabeh means confusing, because it is is a mixture of two or more properties which makes it difficult to determine its category.

    Mashkook on the other hand is what we call in English suspicious. In it the negative side is more dominant. In the former negative and positive both are equal.

    Suspicious thing should always be avoided while mutashabeh should be avoided if one can’t determine its being halal or haram.

    @Irfan76 sir when you meant suspicious thing, which we have to avoid always and not be involved in. Can you give an example about it?

    In a non Muslim country you get a piece of meat and you are sure about it is halal or haram.
