What is the correct way for a student to decline unacceptable teaching posts which the student's Ustaadh wants to assign?

Question

What is the correct way for a student to decline unacceptable teaching posts which the student's Ustaadh wants to assign? A female is being asked to teach at a co-ed Muslim school which accommodates boys and girls up to grade 7.

Answer

The female should outrightly decline the haraam post. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "There is no obedience to anyone in anything which involves disobedience to Allah."

If an Ustaadh asks his student to steal or commit zina or any other haraam act, the student has no option but to firmly decline and offer the Ustaadh naseehat by way of Amr Bil Ma'roof regardless of the ire of the teacher.
