The Ruling on Memorizing the Mu'allaqat and the Poetry of the Pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance

Question : Perhaps this is the last of these questions. He asks about the ruling on studying and memorizing the Mu'allaqat that contain amatory poetry, and he asks about pre-Islamic poetry in general, and whether that falls under the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And the poets, only the lost follow them."

Answer : Yes, I say that it is better to memorize from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and what was said in poetry about the battles of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so that one benefits from it and benefits others with it. As for these Mu'allaqat, if they are of any benefit, they benefit only slightly, or they benefit only in the material of the language.
