Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It was reported from some of the people of knowledge that they said, "This knowledge is religion, so look to whom you take your religion from." His question is: Do we need to ask about the status of the shaykhs and students of knowledge who teach in the mosques in these blessed lands?
Answer:
My brother, no one teaches without a license from the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. It is not that anyone can teach; it is obligatory that he be a graduate, first of all, from the College of Sharia and the College of Usul al-Din, and that he have a certificate. Second, he must have the permission of those responsible for this matter. Yes.
