Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: A fatwa is attributed to your eminence stating that it is not permissible to speak in a language other than Arabic without need.

Answer:
There is no doubt that it is not permissible without need, because this is imitating the non-Arabs and abandoning the Arabic language in which the Qur'an was revealed. A Muslim does not leave his language and the language of the Qur'an and turn to a foreign language except out of need. Yes.
