Is it necessary to rebuke the common people for certain phrases, even if they do not intend their ugly meaning?

Question : The common people, O Shaykh, use certain phrases among themselves. I mean, this hadith indicates that some phrases are used in a meaning other than their intended meaning, O Shaykh. They become phrases that are disliked, but they say, "We do not intend this matter." Yes.

Answer : Rebuke is the default, and the default is to rebuke. But we know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not intend the meaning, and we do not know about the common people. So it is obligatory for us to rebuke them. I mean, if someone came and said, "By Allah, the whole community in our area swears by the Prophet, but they do not intend the Prophet in the oath," we would say, "All right, let them get used to swearing by Allah?" We know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not intend what involves shirk (associating partners with Allah), but as for you, we do not know about you. Perhaps you will know after a generation, or you are Bedouins, or we do not know about you. You say, "By Allah, we did not intend this."
