Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, some of the religious people use inappropriate words toward their colleagues, such as "you dog" or "you animal," and he says: I say that as a joke, and the Messenger encouraged joking.
Answer:
The Messenger did not encourage joking, but he used to joke, peace and blessings be upon him, and he did not say anything but the truth. Joking with forbidden words is not permissible: "you dog," "you donkey," "you wretch," and the like. This is not permissible. This is forbidden speech, and it is idle and false. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
