Arabic Wikipedia has a fair-use policy, but it is more strict than en.wp.

When I said "can" I was talking from a legal perspective. The law is
the same regardless of what language the content is in.
Ok, I took it to be according to our policy. I'm not a lawyer, so in that
respect I just have to take your word for it.
Like the Danish, we in Norwegian (bokmål) have no fair use. It has been
several years and my memory of the discussion might be wrong, but when we
adopted our image policy I believe arguments against fair use included that
we could not legally use it. Whether we can and whether it should in that
case be policy are different questions, only the latter do I have views on.
