You need to change the validation engine. It is likely using RegEx so you need to find one that supports arabic chars. But since you did not share any code we cannot tell you exactly what to do. Just some direction.

C#

(function($) {
        $.fn.arabicOnly = function(options) {
            return this.each(function() {
                var settings = {
                    dv: '',
                    ov: ''
                };
                if (typeof options == 'object') {
                    $.extend(settings, options);
                }
                $(this).keypress(function(e){
                    var key = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : 0;
                    if (key != 8 && key != ){
                        if ((key < 0x0600 || key > 0x06FF)) //if not an arabic letter
                            return false;
                    }
                });
            });
        };
    })(jQuery);
    $('.onlyletters').arabicOnly();

still under development for other scenarios, but you can use it as it is :)
good luck
