Why English?
Is it a Bid'aa as some have claimed?





I was interested in completing an English Writing Course
but when I was consulting my friend about it, she discouraged me, saying that there's no need for mastering foreign languages
and on the other hand she told me that by this I will be benefiting the 'Kuffar' because I have to pay them the fees of the course !!!

I was puzzled when I heard her answer,


and I immediately posted a question about this issue in Sheikh Fawzan's Forum
then I got the answer , and it was not as discouraging as my friend's answer
on the contrary, he said:
"If the intentions are that good, go ahead ,and don't hesitate"

here's the fatwa for those who may be concerned

May Allah teach us what's beneficial
and help us benefit from what we've learned
wa assalam

Salam 3alaykoum,
Sister, the brother who claimed it is a bid3a was joking as far as I remember.
Most people who rejects foreign languages learning have a problem with understanding the basis of power acquisition nowadays,

Can you acquire and prepare the forces taht Quran ordered us to without learning what others have?

the prophet peace be upon him ordered one of " sahaba" to learn " herbew"

so we need to learn other languages to communicate with other societies

on the other hand I have asked sheikh fawazan about speaking in English
without need

and he said " alamer was3 en sha2 Allah

:)

Jazakom ALLAH khayran.

how can we translate this du3a'?

May Allah reward you
