Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is attributed to you, Your Eminence, a fatwa that learning the English language out of love for it is not permissible.

Answer:
Yes, I say this: if he learns it because he loves it, it is not permissible. But if he learns it because he needs it, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
