The questioner:
Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), Shaykh Salih, the author in this chapter, in the chapter on saying "my slave" and "my slave girl," did not clarify whether the prohibition is due to dislike or prohibition. Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
It depends on the intention of the speaker. It may be prohibited if he intends to boast about himself, and it may be disliked if he does not intend to boast about himself, in which case this is among the disliked expressions. Yes. Disliked for the sake of purity. Yes.
The questioner:
All right, if he says, "O Shaykh, this is Muhammad's slave" or "Muhammad's boy."
The Shaykh:
No, one does not say "Muhammad's slave," "Muhammad's boy," or "Muhammad's owned slave," or "Muhammad's young man." Yes.
The questioner:
If he says it, O Shaykh Salih, in the form of a statement, "This is my slave."
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible, not in the form of a statement. And it is not said except in the form of a statement. And this phrase is not said except in the form of a statement. Yes.
