The questioner:
He says: Why do we not say that the left is called, and we say that it is called, and we do not call it the left?
The Shaykh:
Right, left, or north, at every level.
The questioner:
I used to find myself saying to people sitting on the left, "the people of the left."
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for us to call them the people of the left, because this is a word of blame; we do not call them the people of the left.
