The Position on a Professor Who Doubts the Hadiths and the Companions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: One of our professors in one of the colleges, whose specialization is in Islamic studies, speaks about certain things. He says that the hadith "
A people will never succeed who give their leadership to a womanيفلح قوم ولوا امرهم امراه
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2262Sahih (Darussalam)
" is from the narration of Abu Bakrah, and that the hadd was carried out against him, and that one against whom the hadd is carried out is not to be accepted in his testimony. He says that the Rafidah are brothers among our Muslim brothers. He says that Mu'awiyah did not deserve the caliphate because he took it by force, and other statements of his which he presents in a manner that leads to doubt among the students. What is to be done in such a case, or with such a person? And what is our duty toward him?

Answer:
This is a great evil. This teacher is either a Shi'ite who is concealing himself, and the opportunity presented itself so he let out what he has, or he is a misguided person who follows the Shi'ah and is influenced by the Shi'ah school of thought. This is considered misguidance and deviation. You are not to remain silent about this; rather, you must disapprove of it and report his case to those in charge of education in order to have him dismissed and removed from teaching. You must take the initiative to complain to the authorities to have him removed from teaching so that he does not teach the students these misguidances. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
