The Ruling on Employing a Female Teacher Who Does Not Pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I tell you, Shaykh, I have a teacher who is Egyptian, of Egyptian nationality. She teaches me and gives me lessons, but her problem is that she is a major sinner, yet she does not pray. What is your opinion? Is it permissible?
The Shaykh:
I pray during the day.
The questioner:
Is it permissible for her to teach me, or is it not permissible?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for her to remain in the land of Muslims while she does not pray. So how can she be a teacher? Yes.
