In Islamic terminology, something which is Makruh (Arabic مكروه, also transcribed makrouh, makrūh etc.) is a disliked or offensive act (literally "hated"). Though it is not haram (forbidden) and not punishable, a person who abstains from this action will be rewarded. Thus Muslims should 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 wudu and ghusl).
