In Arabic, religious piety is often built into the language and this is reflected through these saying
ibn halal, bint halal, means som\daughter born in a pure (acceptable way) which is basically marriage, this is used for people who are generally associated with good traits
ibn/bint haram is an insult basically saying they were born out of an immoral affair and are a basta**

but this isn't real , this is just swearing in egyptian dialect , because in Egypt and Arabs generally there aren't children without marriage . but IBN HARAM , this is bad dialect .
