If the questioner is referring to the fatwas on this website, the term karaha (disliked) is not used to denote (forbidden) unless it is qualified by " karahat tahrimiyyah " (prohibitively disliked). Reading the books of the scholars requires knowledge of their terminology to correctly understand their words, especially the books of the earlier scholars among them.
