Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Is it permissible for a teacher to describe the events of the Day of Resurrection in detail to young students, or should he be content with a general overview, especially

Answer:
The teacher, my brothers, teaches the students the curriculum and does not go beyond it. He teaches them the curriculum and helps them understand it, and that is sufficient for him. As for going beyond the curriculum and becoming a preacher, a politician, or a historian, that is not appropriate. These are students; they want to be taught, they want to learn the curriculum so that they progress in knowledge. We do not waste time by going beyond the curriculum. This is what is required of the teacher. Yes.
