Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We have a professor at the university who, when he reached the chapter on menstruation in fiqh to study it, said, "Leave it; it is not important for you," and he did not explain it to us. He asks: What is the guidance on this, may Allah grant you success?
Answer:
Go to the dean of the college and tell him, "This is cutting off the curriculum from us." The dean of the college is the one who holds him accountable for this. He does not have the right to delete whatever he wishes from the curriculum or decide whatever he wishes based on his own whim. This is a trust in his charge that he is required to fulfill, and he must not act on his own. Menstruation is not your concern; whose concern is it? It is the concern of the students of knowledge. Who wants to learn the rulings on menstruation? Only the students of knowledge who issue fatwas for people and for women.
It is a legal ruling. Allah the Exalted has legislated rulings regarding it. So this person dislikes menstruation and dislikes the rulings on menstruation. That is the problem with him. He is not fit to be a teacher in the first place.
