Some Maulanas say that the term 'haraam' should not be used to describe acts which are not based on Daleel Qat'i.

Answer

These Maulanas need to be re-admitted to Madrasah to gain understanding of the kutub. It is demeaning to respond to such stupid criticism. The kutub of Fiqh as well as all the Urdu Fataawa kutub of our Akaabireen are replete with the term haraam which all the Fuqaha and Ulama use for prohibitions and reprehensible acts regardless of the technical Fiqh'i classification. It is clear that these Maulanas either are unable to read the kutub or they do not understand what they read. It is explicitly stated in Shaami as well as other kutub: "Every Makrooh is haraam."
