- What is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi ?

1) To cough without reason or to yawn without reason is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi. If you yawn naturally then there is no harm but you should try and stop it and if you cannot then you should bite your lips and if you still cannot then cover your mouth with your hand, whilst in Qayam use your right hand and in all other position use your left.
2)  To pray Salaah with only your trousers or 'Tehband' on and there is another blanket on top available then it is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi, and if you have no other clothing available then there is no harm.

3) To delay in the Salaah because you are waiting for someone to join you is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi. If you are delaying it so that they can join the Salaah then it is all right as long as it is no longer than saying 'Subhanallah' twice [Alamgiri].

4) To pray Salaah with a grave in front and nothing in between is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi [Durr-e- Mukhtar, Alamgiri].

To pray Salaah on someone else's land
1)  If the land has been stolen or a field where crops are going or a ploughed field then to pray Salaah there is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Radd-ul-Mohtar].

2)  In a cemetery where a place is allocated for Salaah and is does not contain a grave then to pray their is no problem. The problem is when there is a grave in front of where you are praying Salaah and there is no object in between, otherwise if there is a grave on your left, right or behind or there is a grave in front but there is an object in between you and the grave then there is no harm in praying Salaah there [Alamgiri, Guniya, Qazi Khan].

To enter a place of worship for Infidels
 To pray Salaah in an Infidel's place of worship is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi because it is a place for the devil. In fact you are not allowed to go inside them.

Order of praying Salaah wearing clothes inside out
1) To wear clothes inside out or to cover yourself with them (with them inside out) is Makrooh-e- Tahrimi. Also to wear a coat and not to tie the belt or to wear a jacket and not to fasten the buttons if you are not wearing anything underneath and therefore your chest is left uncovered then it is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi and if you are wearing something underneath it is Makrooh-e-Tanzihi [Bahar-e- Shariah].
 
Rule of photography

1) To wear a piece of clothing with a photograph on it of a living being will make the Salaah Makrooh- e-Tahrimi. Except for Salaah to wear such clothes is not allowed.

2)  If a photograph is over the head or hung on the wall or is where you are performing a Sajda, then Salaah will be Makrooh-e-Tahrimi. In the same way if a photograph is on the left or right side of the Namazee then the Salaah will be Makrooh-e-Tahrimi, if it is behind him then it is still Makrooh but less than it being on either side.

3) If the photograph is on the ground and you are not performing Sajda on it then there is no harm [Hidaya, Fatahul Qadir].

4) If the photograph is not of a living being such as, mountain, stream, flowers, building etc. then there is no harm [Fatahul Qadir]. If a photograph is enclosed in a bag or in your pocket then there is no harm in Salaah [Durr-e-Mukhtar].

5)  If you are wearing a piece of clothing containing a photograph on it and you wear another piece on top without a photo on it and it also covers the photo then there is no harm in the Salaah [Radd-ul- Mohtar].

6)  If a photograph is in a position of disrespect such as, on the floor where you take off your shoes or you clean your shoes on it or walk over it, as long as it is not on the ground where you perform Sajda then there is no harm even if it is in the house [Durr-e-Mukhtar].

7)  If the photograph is so small that when looking at it standing up you cannot differentiate the body parts on the photograph then by having it on the right, left, front or behind the Namazee, it will not make the Salaah Makrooh.

8) If the whole of the face has been destroyed on the photo then there is no harm [Hidaya, etc.]

9) The rules above are for when praying Salaah. As far as keeping a photo, it has been quoted in the Hadith that if there is a photo or a dog in the house then the angels of mercy do not enter it, this is relating to a photo which has not been kept as a form of disrespect or when looking at it you can differentiate the body parts, otherwise it is all right [Fatahul Qadir].

10)To make or have made a photo is Haram, whether it is hand or machine made, the order is the same.
