⚖️ 3. Islamic Ruling (Fatwa Insight)

Question:

Is learning Arabic obligatory for Muslims?

Answer:
Learning Arabic is a communal obligation (fard kifayah) for the Muslim Ummah and an individual duty to the extent needed for prayer and Qur’an recitation.
The more a Muslim learns, the deeper their connection becomes with the Qur’an and the Sunnah — both revealed in the Language of Paradise.
