Question

What is the difference between a Nabi and a Rasool?

Answer

A rasool is one who comes with an independent shari`ah and a nabi is one who does not have an independent shari`ah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
