In Islamic terminology, something which is makruh (Arabic مكروه, also transliterated makrouh, makrūh etc.) is a disliked or offensive act (literally "hated"). Though it is not haram (forbidden) and therefore not a sin, a person who abstains from this action will be rewarded. Muslims are encouraged to avoid such actions when possible. This is one of the degrees of approval (ahkam) in Islamic law.

An example of something makruh is the use of a great amount of water for the small and large ablutions, the ritual washings known as the wudu and ghusl.
