[[Salat al-Layl]] (Night prayer), [[al-Nawafil al-Yawmiyya]] (daily Mustahab prayers), Mustahab [[fasting]]s, [[supplication]]s, and many other practices are counted among Mustahab acts.

* Some scholars believe that not doing and leaving Mustahab is [[Makruh]] (disliked), although many do not believe so.
when a person starts a mustahab it is makruh to not finish it, like mustahab salat. In some cases when a mustahab reachs specific stage it is obligatory to finish it and the person is not allowed to leave it. Two well-known examples of this creed is [[hajj|mustahab hajj]] and [['Umra]] that if a person starts each of them he must finish it. Another example is [[I'tikaf]] that if a person starts it and fasts the first two days he must fast the third day.
* According to some scholars preparatory acts for performing a Mustahab is also Mustahab, for example providing and preparing water for Ghusl al-Jum'a.
* To leave a Mustahab act after starting it is Makruh, especially Salat and Mustahab fasting after the noon.
In some cases, such as [[Hajj|Mustahab Hajj]] and [['Umra]] and [[I'tikaf]] after the second day, not completing the Mustahab is [[Haram]] (prohibited).
