Project Professional Notes13The Prophet said: “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not makeyou doubt, for truthfulness is certainty and tranquility, whilst lying is doubt andconfusion” (alTirmidhi, anNisaa'i, and Ahmed).i. So every time you leave a doubtful act, you are gaining rewars for following an orderof the Prophet Muhammad .The Prophet said: “The Halal is clear and the Haraam is clear. Between thetwo there are doubtful matters concerning which people do not know whetherthey are Halaal or Haraam. One who avoids them in order to safeguard hisreligion and his honor is safe, while if someone engages in a part of them he maybe doing something Haraam, like one who grazes his animals near the hima (thegrounds reserved for animals belonging to the King which are out of bounds forothers' animals); it is thus quite likely that some of his animals will stray into it.Truly, every king has a hima, and the hima of Allah is what He hasprohibited” (alBukhari, Muslim, alTirmidhi).This is why leaving something Makrooh is an action for which Allah grants reward.d.
