The Demand to Remove Jihad from the Curricula
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we see many media figures and writers demanding that jihad not be taught and that it be removed from the curricula. What is your opinion on this?
The Shaykh:
No, we do not obey them in this. This is a false statement, and they say more than this. They say, “Also, make changes to the Qur'an; remove the verses that prohibit the alliance of disbelievers, and remove the mention of the Jews and Christians, the declaration of the Jews and Christians as disbelievers, and the cursing of them.” We do not obey them in this.[Ali 'Imran 3:149]. [Ali 'Imran 3:100] It is as if he is a pilot. We are Muslims, and they are sinners; we do not obey them. Yes.
The questioner:
I say, Honorable.
The Shaykh:
If one of the Muslims says, “Remove this thing,” and he holds that this is not correct, then he is a Shafi'i who has apostatized from the religion of Islam. Yes.

O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will [then] become losers.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُوا خَاسِرِينَO you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تُطِيعُوا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ يَرُدُّوكُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ كَافِرِينَThe questioner:
I say, Honorable.
The Shaykh:
If one of the Muslims says, “Remove this thing,” and he holds that this is not correct, then he is a Shafi'i who has apostatized from the religion of Islam. Yes.
