Teaching children about Shakespeare
Question
I am a qualified secondary English teacher. Is it permissible for me to teach Muslim children about Shakespeare and the fictional content of English literature? I am worried that I will be accountable to Allah Ta'ala for what I teach to children.
Answer
To teach any literature that will disrupt and confuse the mind is incorrect.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
