Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to read the stories and narratives written by Western disbelievers in order to acquire and master a foreign language?
Answer:
I do not know about this. I fear they may be inserting something into them for you. I do not know about them. The important thing is, I do not know about them. The Arabic language is vast, and praise be to Allah, and it is sufficient for you without this. Yes.
