Saying “bloody hell”
Question
Assalamualikum I heard many Muslime people saying swearing words like bloody hel or F hell what’s your opinion on this please
Answer
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The words bloody hell is an expression of anger and frustration.[1] The f hell is vulgar language. Shariah prohibits us from being vulgar.[2] Consider the following hadith;
“A true believer does not insult the honor of others, nor curse, nor commit immoral acts, nor is he foul.” [Tirmithi][3]
