Is an act which is described Makrooh Tanzeehi permissible?

Answer

A Makrooh Tanzeehi act is never permissible. Persistence transforms Makrooh Tanzeehi into Makrooh Tahreemi. Makrooh Tanzeehi is not Jaaiz ma-al Karaahat. (a permissible which which is Makrooh). The latter is a different category.

Jaaiz Ma-al Karaahat are 'haraam' and Makrooh Tahreemi' acts which become temporarily permissible whilst retaining the attribute of karaahat, e.g. identification photographs, tadaawi bil haraam (medication with haraam substances), consuming haraam food because of lack of halaal food, which situation will lead to death, paying licence fees and paying government tax. The principle underlying this class of acts is duress and compulsion. When one is compelled to commit a haraam act it becomes jaaiz ma-al karaahat.
