The Ruling on Teaching That the Earth Rotates on Its Axis

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a teacher of geography. As is required in the subject I teach the female students, the Earth rotates on its axis. Since I have heard that some of our scholars, such as Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), hold a different view, citing some evidence from the Qur'an, the question to you is: Am I required to teach what is required of me in this subject, or should I clarify to them that this is contrary to the correct view and mention the scholars' opinions along with the scriptural evidence?

Answer:
Yes, that is correct. You teach them what the author of the geography book states, that this is his viewpoint, and the viewpoint of geographers is such and such, and their basis is such and such. But this is an incorrect statement. The correct view is what is in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, that the Earth is stationary and that the Sun revolves around it daily. This is what clarifies its falsehood.
There is no objection to you teaching them the truth and teaching them its opposite so that they can distinguish falsehood from truth. There is no objection. Therefore, we teach the statements of the Jahmiyyah, the statements of the Mu'tazilah, and the statements of the Qaburiyyah. This is a dense forest of issues, but we do so to know that they are false so that we can refute them. There is no objection. Yes.
