Mustahabb (Arabic مستحبّ, literally "recommended") is an Islamic term referring to recommended, favored or virtuous actions.

Contents

Definition

Mustahabb actions are those whose status of approval in Islamic law (ahkam) falls between mubah (neutral) and wajib (actions which must be performed). One definition is "duties recommended, but not essential; fulfilment of which is rewarded, though they may be neglected without punishment" (Reuben Levy, The Social Structure of Islam, p. 202). Synonyms of mustahabb can be masnun or mandub. The opposite of mustahabb is makruh.
