The trustees have decided to keep the Madrasah open during the school holidays.

Question

The trustees have decided to keep the Madrasah open during the school holidays. Some parents are upset and refusing to send their children to Madrasah during the holidays. Is the action of the trustees proper?

Answer

Make shukr, and thank the trustees for their excellent decision. It is of considerable benefit for the children to open the Madrasah during school holidays. It is not proper to refuse sending children to Madrasah during holidays. The decision of the trustees to open the Madrasah during the kuffaar school holidays is excellent. Islamic education should not be made the handmaid of kuffaar education. All over, the Deen is made subservient to the ways of the western kuffaar. Holidays and Ilm of the Deen are two mutually repelling opposites.
