Speaking with non-Arabs in their own language

Q 2: I'm in the habit of speaking in foreign languages when communicating with non-Arab co-workers, each in his language. I do that in order to foster good relations and encourage them to embrace Islam. My efforts have been fruitful, but it has come to my attention that habitually speaking foreign languages is contradictory to Shar` (Law). Please advise. May Allah bless you.

A: There is nothing wrong with speaking with foreigners in their own languages if necessity so demands, or to call them to Islam. This is not considered a Makruh (disliked) matter.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
