What is your opinion on the term "humanism" and is it permissible to name a college "Faculty of Arts and Humanities" given the existence of a philosophical term that targets the constants of Islam?
The field of humanities has contained many intellectual corruptions and doctrinal deviations, and its foundations were laid upon atheistic principles. It is considered a cause of deviation in beliefs and behavior, unless it is built upon the sound principles of creed that are consistent with the sciences of Islamic law. Islamic law must govern the humanities in detail, and they must not be isolated from the sciences of Islamic law.
