The Ruling on Speaking in Formal Arabic and Its Relation to Affectation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is speaking in formal Arabic considered affectation?
Answer:
Yes. If it is among common people who do not know formal Arabic, and speaking to them in it is not appropriate, then do not do that. Address people with what they know, as 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Address people with what they know. Yes.
