Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: Is it used with only one of the two?
The Shaykh : It is used with all three.
The student: Hasa, khalā, and ʿadā?
The Shaykh : Yes, with all three.
The student: What is hasa?
The Shaykh : It is like "hasa Zayd."
The student: Is it a negation with hasa?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: Hasa is used for negation.
The Shaykh : Yes, but they say: this "ma" is a source particle (masdariyyah) or an adverbial particle (ḍarfiyyah), meaning the duration of the exclusion of so-and-so from the negation.
The student: Is it the same for khalā and ʿadā?
The Shaykh : Yes, and the same for khalā and ʿadā.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : How?
The student: The Arabs mention that the news of ... I did not say it.
The Shaykh : Because we feel weakness, we feel weakness, and usually the weak follows?
The student: The strong.
The Shaykh : The people, now they teach the young boys English, right?
The student: Bye-bye.
The Shaykh : Yes, "As-salamu alaykum" and "bye-bye"!! Yes, and on the telephone they say "Hello," they do not say "As-salamu alaykum."
The student: The Spanish language is now commonly Arabic.
The Shaykh : Arabic!
The student: And even if the Arabs were influenced by them.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. Now, may Allah protect you, all the Persians and Romans, you see they have non-Arabic words, this is Persian and that is Roman, but when the Islamic conquests came and Islam became dominant, the humble followed them. But now, we are the opposite. Now there are signs in the markets, in some markets, all in English. You do not know what is in the shop? You do not know what it is? Sometimes the picture of the plane tickets, if your ticket falls, you do not know what it is? Is it yours or someone else's? Yes, that is correct.
The student: You need a picture.
The Shaykh : Yes, now they started giving us invoices from exhibitions and others if we buy in English. The book, maybe none of them know, they are all old and do not know the Arabic language, but I return the invoice, I say: I will not accept it until you give it to me in the Arabic language. Yes, and it should be like this, because if we remain silent about such matters, the Arabic language will be erased, and the poor elders who do not know the English language will return, and you will pity their condition.
The student: Some of them study it for their sons.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Some of them teach their children the English language.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The student: And he looks at the Arabic language with some contempt and disdain.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah, this is a great error, the language of the Qur'an and the Hadith is despised!
The student: Can we not address the officials responsible for these things?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: We speak to the officials responsible for these airlines and others to print these tickets in the Arabic language.
The Shaykh : By Allah, there is no doubt that this is the best, especially if it becomes domestic flights. The external ones may have people in them, and if it is written for this person in his language and for that person in his language, what is the objection? Yes?
The student: The Gregorian date, conversion.
The Shaykh : Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) disliked this, and the basis of dislike is prohibition according to Imam Ahmad. If he says: I dislike such and such, his followers consider this to be for prohibition. And the one who deviates from the Hijri date to the Gregorian date, there is no doubt that he has confirmed upon himself a practical confirmation that he is a tail among the tails. As for the one who combines them for the sake of, meaning, doing a benefit, there is no objection in that, if Allah wills. Yes?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : They do not know at all, by the Gregorian, unless there is a reason. And they say the Arabs, they are not a proof, they are not a proof. The proof is what Allah and His Messenger said. And you now, do you like to be a follower of non-Muslims or of Muslims?
The student: Of Muslims.
The Shaykh : Of Muslims. And if these people take pride in the birth of Isa (peace be upon him), why do we not take pride in the migration of the Messenger (peace be upon him)? Why do we accept humiliation and degradation for our religion? The countries colonized by the English and the French, these may be excused, but the countries that were not colonized, and praise be to Allah, how do they become tails?! Yes?
The student: The author was at the beginning of the book expressing ...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, it seems the author (may Allah have mercy on him) was influenced by these and those.
The student: Shaykh, what is the ruling? Is it disliked or forbidden, especially the English language?
The Shaykh : The scholars have explicitly stated that it is disliked, but if he makes it a substitute for the Arabic language in all communication, it is closer to being forbidden.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: Is it used with only one of the two?
The Shaykh : It is used with all three.
The student: Hasa, khalā, and ʿadā?
