Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abu Mu'adh from the Noble Makkah says: Shaykh, does the scholar who raises students in Islamic sacred law fall under the noble verse[Al-Isra 17:24]?
Answer:
The verse is specific to the parents. “Have mercy on them” means the parents, just as they raised me when I was small. The teacher has a right over the student without a doubt, because he taught him beneficial knowledge, teaching him what he will benefit from in the near and distant future of his life. So the teacher has a virtue over the student, and he should pray for him and reward him for his virtue, his kindness, and his good treatment toward him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh
