As-Salamu 'Aalykum
I’ll get back to your previous post later, once I’ve some free time on my hand. but you see sister many of the early 'ulama used the word makrooh to mean, makrooh-e-tahreemi (unlawful). This is very common trait found among the Salaf as they were cautious about using the term “haram/unlawful” due to the saying of Allah:
“**And do not speak with that which your tongues describe falsely, ‘This is lawful and this is unlawful,’ so as to invent lies against Allah. **Indeed, those who invent lies against Allah will never be successful. They will have a passing brief enjoyment, and they will have a painful torment.” [Sooratun-Nahl 16:116-117 - interpretation of the meaning]
Therefore, some of the Salaf (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say Let each of you fear from saying, ‘Allah has declared such and such lawful and He has declared such and such unlawful’. Similarlay, ibn Wahb said:
“I heard [Imaam] Malik [rahimahullah] saying, 'There was not from the affair of the people, nor from amongst those who have passed from our Salaf, nor from anyone who I have known as an example saying about something, ‘This is lawful and this is unlawful’. And they were not bold upon that. They would only say, ‘We dislike this and we see this as good’. So this is befitting and we do not hold this”
the same narration was also narrted through the route of 'Ateeq Ibn Ya’qoob in which there was the addition, “And they did not say lawful, nor did they say unlawful”.
However, this doesn’t mean that they didn’t consider certain matters as haram as for example in the case of Imaam Ahlus Sunnah, Ahmad ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah), when he said concerning combining between two sisters who were right-hand possessions, “I dislike it, and I do not say that it is unlawful”. And his madhhab was that it was unlawful. He only observed caution against using the term ‘unlawful’ due to the statement of 'Uthmaan.
Note: the above narrations are my notes, excerpt, from the book of Imaam ibn Qayyim (rahimahullah)
rest is later
btw, people lacking adab, typical “wahabi” bashing won’t help you to prove your point.
