The Ruling on Using Arabized Foreign Words in Speech

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Before answering the questions, he says: Next week there is nothing, because there is travel, if Allah wills, from Saturday to the following Saturday.

The questioner:
Is it permissible to use some English phrases in speech, given the report from 'Ali when he said to Shurayh, "Qaluwa," which is a Persian word?

The Shaykh:
No, it has become Arabic. Persian words, when used by the Arabs, become Arabic. This is what they call "mu'rab" (Arabized). Through Arabic usage, it becomes Arabic, but it is not pure Arabic; rather, it is Arabized Arabic.
