Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: You mentioned the excuses, seeking forgiveness, and sending blessings upon the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and what happened in the incidents of al-Jamal and Siffin. Should we teach this to our students in schools and mention it to them?
Answer:
If it is mentioned in your history curriculum, explain it to them. But if it is not in the history curriculum or the syllabus, do not answer them with anything that is not in the syllabus. However, if it is written in the syllabus, it must be clarified and explained. Yes.
