Ustādh, I wanted to ask about using slang language. It’s common for people to speak that way casually, but is it better for a Muslim, especially a student of knowledge, to avoid it altogether in all contexts and keep their speech refined and dignified?

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

This is an important question. A student of knowledge yes if it lowers his status in the eyes of people. Absolutely may Allah reward you and many people are not paying attention to this!
