What is the ruling on using the word "Aha" with the sole intention of objection, knowing its history and that it is currently considered shameful?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim should avoid uttering this word because it is considered obscenity and indecency. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The believer is not one who slanders, curses, speaks obscenely, or is foul-mouthed." This word is circulated among thefasiq (defiantly disobedient people), and a Muslim purifies himself from resembling them.
