I understand this question would be pretty opinion based, and broad, because most of the scholars differ with each other whether different subjects are fard (obligatory) or not.
Examples:
- To say in sha Allah on intended acts (**not fard**):1
> وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ
>
> And do not say of anything: Surely I will do it tomorrow, Except [when adding], "If Allah wills."
- To eat with right hand (mostly say **not fard**):2 ,3
> ... إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ ...
>
> ... When any one of you intends to eat (meal), he should eat with his right hand...
- To only eat meat where the name of God has been provoked. (disagreements, many say it is **not fard**):4 ,5
> ... وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
>
> And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned
- To make ghusl in fridays (**not fard**):6 ,7 ,8
> إِذَا رَاحَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ
>
> Anyone of you going out for the Jumua prayer should take a bath
- To read the Quran with tajweed (many say it is **fard** if you know how to):9 ,10 ,11
> رَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا
>
> and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.
- To grow a beard (for men), (**fard** according to most, while disagreements exists):12 ,13
> خَالِفُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَفِّرُوا اللِّحَى، وَأَحْفُوا الشَّوَارِبَ
>
> Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the mustaches short.
- To say Bismillah over food (**not fard**):14
> إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
>
> When one of you eats, he should mention Allah's name.
- To pray Friday prayer/Jumu'a (for men), (**fard**):15
> يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ **فَاسْعَوْا** إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ **وَذَرُوا** الْبَيْعَ
>
> O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], **then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade.**
----------
There are of course many more cases.
#When does an order constitute fard?
I understand that scholars have different opinions about this, so when answering. please try to add which view you are quoting or explaining. I am looking for a structured answer with rules/conditions which (different) scholars use to conclude that an order (fi'l amr) is fard.
Relevant:
Is the lack of information in a hadith a proof of something being allowed?
What does “wajib” mean in this hadith about doing ghusl in Jumua (Friday)?
