According to the Scholars of Islamic Jurisprudence, it can be defined in the following words: Refraining from doing an act out of obedience to Allaah [based upon proof and evidence], which would subsequently necessitate a reward. However, the perpetrator is not eligible for punishment if the act is committed. For example, drinking whilst standing. [TN]
