Question:
May Allah reward you. Some Arab brothers speak the English language without need. Is this matter blameworthy or permissible? Does it contradict the dignity of Islam?
Answer:
Speaking a language other than Arabic for Arabs is imitating the non-Arabs. However, it is permissible in case of need; one may speak to the extent of the need. It is also permissible to prohibit it in that regard. But if it is without need, then it is not permissible, because it is imitation. Speaking their language is imitating them, and it is not permissible without need. Yes.
