The Meaning of Jahiliyyah in Its General Usage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He said: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah have mercy on you, if the term jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance) is used in a general sense, does it mean disbelief?

Answer:
As we mentioned, jahiliyyah includes what means disbelief and what is less than that. If one says, "You are a man with some jahiliyyah in you," that does not mean disbelief, but look, it refers to a trait from the traits of jahiliyyah.
