Is it permissible for a female Arabic language teacher to explain parts quoted from the Bible for the purpose of linguistic, grammatical, and morphological analysis to teach foreigners?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

As a Muslim woman, it is not permissible for you to teach parts of the Gospel unless you can avoid two prohibitions: First, your own study of parts of the Gospel, and second, teaching these texts to students—even if they are not Muslims—in a way that implies your affirmation of the polytheistic beliefs and false doctrines resulting from alteration. If you cannot avoid these two prohibitions, then it is not permissible for you to teach them.
