Is every matter attributed to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) absolutely condemned?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is every matter attributed to the jahiliyyah absolutely condemned?

Answer:
Yes, every matter attributed to the jahiliyyah is absolutely condemned, because the matters of the jahiliyyah are condemned—those matters that pertain to religion. As for matters pertaining to morals and customs, such as honoring the guest, honoring the neighbor, bravery, and chivalry, these are praiseworthy. However, the intended meaning is religious matters. Islam has abolished the jahiliyyah; the Islamic religion has abolished the jahiliyyah. Therefore, nothing remains of the matters of the jahiliyyah by which one worships Allah the Exalted. Even those matters of the jahiliyyah that appear to be virtues, we do not adopt them unless our religion approves of them. Our religion approved of honoring the neighbor, keeping promises, and honoring the guest. These existed in the jahiliyyah, and our religion approved of them. Yes.
