His saying: (O Allah, whoever is entrusted with any matter of my Ummah and makes things difficult for them, make things difficult for him). Does this include teachers who set extremely difficult exam questions?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the action of some teachers in making questions extremely difficult fall under the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The Shaykh : Yes, making questions extremely difficult may fall under this. However, if the teacher has explained these matters to them clearly, and that it is not difficult except for the negligent, then it does not apply.
The questioner : Is this open sinfulness?
The Shaykh : Leave that alone.
Whoever makes things difficult for my Ummah, I will make things difficult for him
