A man says: He is teaching the Qur'an and religious lessons to some girls, aged thirteen, in his home. Is there anything wrong with that?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The listener from the Arab Republic of Egypt says that he is teaching the Qur'an and religious lessons to some girls, aged thirteen, in his home. Is there anything wrong with that? He says, knowing that I am like a teacher for them, as I teach them this. We ask for guidance?

The Shaykh : What I hope this person will do is deliver lessons to his wife, or his sister, or one of his mahram relatives in the house, and then that woman delivers the lessons he taught her to these women who come to his house.
As for his taking charge of teaching them while they are of this age, I fear for him the trial (fitnah), because Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood. If he fears that his sister, or his wife, or one of his mahram relatives in the house will not fulfill the duty, he can deliver a lesson via recording, and then this woman, who is a mahram relative of his, presents it to these students. In this, the benefit is achieved, and one stays away from the prohibited and the trial (fitnah).
And if they have a question, let them have a recording device that records the question from the students, and then the man answers it in another place, and it is returned to them. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
