A fatwa that appears to indicate that continuous performance of Makruh Tanzih leads to incurring of sin:

Is it permissible to perform Salaat with shirt sleeves above the elbows?

It is of the respects of Salaat to have the elbows covered like the head is covered. To leave the elbows uncovered during Salaat is Makrooh Tanzihi which reduces the Thawaab of the Salaat. It must also be borne in mind that constant perpetration of a Makrooh Tanzihi act transforms it (Makrooh Tanzihi) into a Makrooh Tahrimi which is a reprehensible and forbidden act. For worldly occasions and gatherings people observe all types of manmade and un-Islamic rules, customs and etiquette, but for the holiest of holy and greatest of great occasion (i.e. Salaat) Muslims nowadays think nothing of discarding and ignoring the proper Islamic decorum and etiquette -- the proper Sunnat etiquette which is so necessary for obtaining the Supreme Pleasure of Allah Azza Wa Jal.
