<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) It is disliked to use the word Karm to refer to grapes, for the Muslim is more worthy of this name.<br> 2) It shows how the Shariah is keen on correcting common mistakes in people’s speech and promoting the use of the right words instead. This is one of the good aspects of the Islamic legislation.
