There are no schools in my country other than Sufi schools. Should I send my children to them, or what do you advise?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Should I send my children to Sufi schools, where there are no others in my country, and they teach them there that Allah is everywhere? Exalted is Allah above that. I have studied in these schools and I know what is in them. Is it permissible for me to send them there?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to send them to schools of shirk (associating partners with Allah), bid'ah (religious innovation), and defective beliefs. No, you do not know what they teach them, you do not know what they teach them, and that is enough. If there is a group of Muslims in the country, and you open a private school for your children, that is what is obligatory upon you.
