Islamiat MCQ #16418

  1. Question 1

    Q1. In Usul al-Fiqh, a command (amr) in the Quran or Sunnah is presumed to indicate which level of obligation by default?

    • A) Mustahab (recommended)
    • B) Mubah (permissible)
    • C) Makruh (disliked)
    • D) Wujub (obligation — i.e., obligatory act)

    Answer: Wujub (obligation — i.e., obligatory act)

    Explanation: The default presumption in Usul al-Fiqh is that an unqualified command (amr) in the Quran or Sunnah indicates Wujub (obligation), meaning the commanded act is Fard or Wajib. This presumption can be overridden by contextual evidence indicating recommendation (nadb) or permissibility.
