Explaining the Danger of Private Schools That Teach Playing Musical Instruments and Singing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We observe the spread of private schools, and among the objectives of some of them is teaching the sons of Muslims to play musical instruments and sing. Likewise, in some kindergartens, there are specialists who teach boys and girls to play instruments and dance, just as happens in the lands of disbelief. We ask Your Eminence to explain the danger of the spread of this. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Whoever knows of this, let him write to us, may Allah reward him with good, or to the General Director of Girls' Education, so that it may be put to an end, if Allah wills. This writer or anyone else: if the one who teaches this says, "Such-and-such a school has such-and-such," and a general description is sufficient, specifying that such-and-such a school is in such-and-such a place, in such-and-such a neighborhood, so that we may do what is required from that side. Or to the Minister of Education, if it falls under the Ministry of Education, or to the Director of Girls' Education, if it falls under Girls' Education, or to me, or to the head of the committee, or to whomever he wishes from the people of knowledge.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes. Write about it, may Allah reward you with good. Write about it based on your observations, even under the name of an advisor, keeping your tongue cautious regarding your name, even under the name of an advisor. Write what you know with certainty. Yes.
