Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Regarding the prohibition against imitating the Bedouins, for example in the case of the 'Atamah, how do we reconcile this with taking the language from them?
Answer:
The language is not legislation, my brother. Speech is not imitating legislation; it is what does not contradict the Shari'ah. As for the language, it is a required matter, and the language came from the Arabs and was taken from them, and it is not legislation. Yes.
