Is there any difference between Sunnah, mustahabb and nafil?
Question: 9197
What is the difference between Sunnah and Nafel? and Sunnah and Musthab?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
The
majority of scholars of Usool al-Fiqh say that there is no difference
between Sunnah, mustahabb, tatawwu’ (voluntary actions) and nafil. But
the Hanafis say something different. They regard mandoob (recommended)
as being of the same status as nafil, and they differentiate between
Sunnah and nafil, regarding Sunnah as being higher in status.
