The Ruling on Raising Students with a Jihadist Upbringing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for the person in charge of school activities to raise his students with a jihadist upbringing, by naming their groups after the battles (ghazawat), showing them news of the mujahideen in Chechnya and elsewhere, showing them video films depicting some of the battles and martyrs, and playing for them patriotic songs that encourage jihad?

Answer:
It is obligatory for the teacher, and the teacher is a confidant, it is obligatory for him to teach the students the curriculum that is in their hands and clarify it to them. He teaches them fiqh, tawhid (the oneness of Allah), grammar, hadith, tafsir, and the Qur'an, and he does not lead them away from that to questions they have not reached and their minds cannot bear, which distract them from their lessons. It distracts them from their lessons. So he avoids these things and restricts himself to teaching them the lessons that have been decided for them. It is sufficient for him to make them understand them, to teach them, to fulfill the trust that is in his charge. Yes.
