Commentary
A commandment does not always signify compulsion. If the contextual
evidences are conducive, the commandment may denote desirability or recommendation or simply permissibility. As for instance, it comes in the Qur'an: "But when you have quit your pilgrim sanctity, then hunt for game." (Al-Mâidah: 2) "Then when the prayer is finished, scatter throughout the land." (Al-Jum'uah: 10)
