What is the ruling on saying: "The curse of Allah be upon the wrongdoers," and mentioning that "Apollo" is the name of the god of the disbelievers, and Al-Aqqad's asking our Mother Earth, while stating that this is among the manifestations of antiquity in the text and being influenced by the Holy Qur'an?
A poet's affiliation with a particular school does not affect the ruling on studying their poetry; rather, what matters is its content. There is no harm in studying the mentioned poem and similar ones, even if they contain corrupt meanings or الفاظ [inappropriate] language, as long as the purpose of the study is to learn aspects of eloquence and rhetoric.
Regarding the second poem: The poet's saying, "if she gives birth, bury it alive" (إذا ما أنجبت تئد), might be influenced by the Holy Quran, in that the origin of human creation is from the earth, and then they are buried in it, as in His (Allah's) saying: "From it We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time" (Taha: 55). It appears that the poet's intention is to reflect on the state of the earth with humans, and there seems to be no harm in these two lines.
