Is it obligatory for us to warn those who study in co-educational universities?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Regarding this, O Shaykh, your fatwa from a moment ago on the issue of studying in universities... O Shaykh, regarding your excellent fatwa, someone might say, for example, "So are we obligated to warn these people who enter..."
The Shaykh: We have done so.
The questioner : Meaning, we warn them.
The Shaykh : We may have done so, but in the end, I gave you an example: Is there any Muslim scholar who does not warn all Muslims not to consume riba (usury or interest) or to be consumed by it, and so on, as mentioned in the hadith? The scholars of the Muslims are in agreement, even though there are some anomalies among people who say that a little riba is permissible, such as riba al-fadl (usury of excess in a like-for-like exchange) and the like. Did the Muslims respond? So the answer is this, and unfortunately, the news of the Messenger (peace be upon him) is truth and veracity, and as time passes, many of the true prophecies of the Messenger (peace be upon him) come to pass. So the forbidden matter, may Allah reward you, is a reality whether you like it or not. How? And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Sahih al-Bukhari 3456 This was reported in "Sunan al-Tirmidhi" and others. This is a report from the Messenger (peace be upon him) that is true. Does it mean "do it"? Far from it! But as He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: [An-Najm 53:3-4] He informed his Ummah (the Muslim community) of the violations they would fall into, in order to warn those who desire to avoid falling into violations. As for falling into them, it is inevitable because it is truth, just as you speak.
Other than that?

If you trade with 'inah (a buy-back sale used to disguise a loan) and take the tails of cattle and are content with agriculture and abandon jihad in the path of Allah, Allah will impose upon you a humiliation that He will not remove from you until you return to your religion.
إذا تبايعتم بالعينة وأخذتم أذناب البقر ورضيتم بالزرع وتركتم الجهاد في سبيل الله سلط الله عليكم ذلا لا ينزعه عنكم حتى تعودوا إلى دينكمYou will follow the wrong ways, of your predecessors so completely and literally that if they should go into the hole of a mastigure, you too will go there.
لتتبعنَّ سنن من قبلكم شبرًا بشبر ، وذراعًا بذراع ، حتى لو دخلوا جحر ضبٍّ لدخلتموهEven if there were among them someone who would have intercourse with his mother on the roadside, there would be among you someone who would do that.
حتى لو كان فيهم من يأتي أمه على قارعة الطريق لكان فيكم من يفعل ذلك(3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (4) It is not but a revelation revealed,
وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى * إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىOther than that?
