About this MCQ
This Medium Islamic Jurisprudence and Ethics MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following best names: a recommended, though not obligatory, act in Islam, also referred to as Mandub?”

Option A (“Hilm”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Mustahab. Option B (“Halal”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Mustahab. Remaining alternatives (Mufti) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Mustahab is identified.

Islamic Jurisprudence and Ethics recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
