Advice for the one who fears teaching and education

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This sister questioner has a question about the university. She says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a student at the university, and I am in constant fear of teaching because I see that it is a great trust and a tremendous responsibility. So in your opinion, if I am asked to teach and appointed as a teacher, should I teach or should I refuse, because I am afraid?

Answer:
You must seek help from Allah and rely upon Allah. Teaching with a good intention is a righteous deed; teaching religious lessons with a good intention is a righteous deed, because whoever spreads knowledge and trains people in good, that is a righteous deed and a good example. As for the fear, that is from Shaytan, and it is cowardice. So she should seek help from Allah, seek refuge from the accursed Shaytan, and strive to teach beneficial knowledge. However, she must adhere to the Shari'ah etiquettes for women: she should go out covered and not wearing perfume, and she should not ride with a driver who is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her. If she adheres to the Shari'ah etiquettes and teaches beneficial sciences, she will be rewarded for that, and it is a righteous deed. As for the fear, it has no place; because this is cowardice and discouraging people from good. Yes.
