| Subject: Saying, "Yes, him - the Cripple." Thu Jul 08, 2010 12:30 pm | |
| QuestionWhen I am having a discussion about a person who is absent, is it permissible to say about him, "So and so, the cripple or one-eyed?" AnswerIf by calling him this you are simply identifying who he is, this is permissible; in certain narrations, we come across "so and so Al-'Amash (blear-eyed)" and "so and so Al-'Araj (cripple)." But if it is done out of scorn or backbiting then it is not allowed. Shaikh Ibn Baz (Rahimahullah) Reference: Fatawa Islamiyah Volume 8 Page 213 | |
