Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking on the role of a teacher without a license or endorsement from the scholars?

Answer:
This is necessary. One must obtain permission from the one in authority. Matters are not to be left in chaos; chaos is not permissible. Therefore, one must obtain permission from the one in authority. It is also required that the person be among the scholars, possessing the qualifications that qualify him for teaching. If he does not have the qualifications and does not obtain permission from the authorities, this creates chaos, and the matter will not be regulated. The door will be opened to anyone who wants to speak and teach. The ignorant will speak, and the people of misguidance and the people of innovation will speak, and matters will become chaotic. This is not permissible. If matters of this world require a system, and matters of this world must not become chaotic, how much more so are matters of religion? Matters of religion are more deserving of regulation and organization so that people are safe from the evil of the calls of the misguided and the ignorant. Yes.
