Question:
What is the ruling on studying in Islamic institutes and colleges that teach the creeds of the Mu'tazilah, the Jahmiyyah, and the Asha'irah?
Answer:
Answer: If it is limited to the creeds of the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, and the Asha'irah, and does not teach [the creed of the Salaf], then [it is not permissible]. But if it teaches the creed of the Salaf and teaches the creeds of these [sectarians] in order to know them and avoid them, we teach this. We teach in our schools and colleges the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the creed of the Salaf, and we teach alongside it the creeds of the opposing sects in order to know the evil in them so that we avoid it and keep people away from it.
