The Connection Between Understanding the Arabic Language and Understanding the Shari'ah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it true that one’s understanding of the Shari'ah is proportional to one’s understanding of the Arabic language?

Answer:
Yes, it is possible, because the Shari'ah came in the Arabic language. So if you understand the Arabic language, that is a means to understanding the Shari'ah. So learn the Arabic language, learn grammar, learn the language; that is a good thing. Yes.
