The ruling on describing a visiting Muslim with the word "foreigner"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The people of a specific town in the small states that have been established recently say to their Muslim brother from another country: "foreigner," and they disparage him with this word!
Answer:
No, a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim in any place, whether he is in the East or the West of the earth, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. In the custom of people, a foreigner is a stranger, meaning the one who comes from a distant land is called a foreigner, meaning a stranger. This is a customary term among people; it does not mean a foreigner in the sense of a disbeliever. No, it means he is a stranger. They say: "We have foreigners," meaning they came from far away. There is no harm in that if he intends that he is a stranger.
