RULING ON USING FOUL LANGUAGE

RULING ON USING FOUL LANGUAGE

 

 


 

Question:
What is the ruling on using foul and vulgar language?
Answer:
Bismillaah, alhamdulillahi wassalatu wassalaamu alaa rasoolillahi wa ala’ aalihi wasallam, amma ba’ad
Allaah عز وجل warns us in the Quran, to keep away from Al-Fahshaa (shameful deeds). The usage of foul and vulgar language and swearing with it, is clearly from those shameful deeds and hence, it is prohibited, since Allaah عز وجل prohibits Al-Fahshaa, as in the following Aayah:
إِنَّ اللّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ“Allaah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition”.[Surah an Nahl: Aayah 90]
Likewise, the Prophet ﷺ also warned us from such deeds, as in the following Hadith and numerous others:
Ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه reported, that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “A believer is not a defamer, a curser, obscene or coarse.”[At-Tirmidhi]
