The Meaning of "A'rab" and "Musta'rib"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the meaning of "A'rab" and "Musta'rib"? And is it permissible...

Answer:
I mean, the A'rab are Arabs by origin. As for the Musta'rib, their origin is non-Arab, but they became Arabized; they learned Arabic because Isma'il (peace be upon him) learned Arabic from the Jurhum, the A'rab al-A'rab. Yes. Some genealogists say that all Arabs are from the descendants of Isma'il, and Allah knows best. Yes. Among them is Shaykh Muhammad, who says in *Siyasat al-Usul* that the Arabs are from the descendants of Isma'il. Yes.
