The
importance of learning the Arabic language
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
It is apparent that many students of knowledge steer away
from perfecting the rules of the Arabic language (grammer),
considering it's importance - what is your point of view?
Response:
Yes, understanding the Arabic language is important, whether
it be the rules of i'raab or the rules of balaaghah, all of
these are important. However, based upon us being Arabs, and
all Praise is for Allaah, then it is possible to learn without
knowing the rules of the Arabic language. However, from that
which is complete (and better) is for a person to learn the
rules of the Arabic language. So, I encourage the learning
of the Arabic language with all it's rules.
