What is the ruling on teaching Islamic jurisprudence to girls, on the condition that the teacher is a married, pious man, with no covering barrier between them, citing the evidence?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Teaching Islamic jurisprudence to girls, on the condition that the teacher is a married, pious man, with no covering barrier between them; we ask for evidence from the Book and the Sunnah if it exists, and whether any of the Salaf (may Allah be pleased with them) did this?
The Shaykh : Our Salaf is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he set aside a specific day for women to teach them matters of their religion, and we have no other evidence beyond that. For this reason, we stipulated that this teacher must be married, religious, pious, and scrupulous. I do not know if I am adding another condition that was not mentioned in the question, but he should also not be a young man, even if he is married; rather, he should be an old man. It is enough for you to hear the word "old man" from me a second time; it suffices that he be an old man, meaning elderly. The purpose of this is very clear: to place barriers and block the means between this teacher, who is afflicted with teaching women, and being tempted by them or him being tempted by others. This is it; we have nothing more than this.
