Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on calling some women "Lady So-and-So," for example?

Answer:
This is one of the terms that came to us from others. "Lady" is not said. "Lady" is not said. Not even the wives of the Prophet are called "ladies." Because this term was not transmitted. And that she is called "Lady." Yes.
