Question
The Daarul Uloom debars weak students from joining the Takhassus (Specialized) classes on Tafseer Qur'aan and Tafseer Hadith. Only students with good academic ability are permitted. Is this approach of the Madrasah proper?
Answer
It is improper. It is haraam to debar any person, whether student or outsider, from sitting in any Qur'aan and Hadith lessons. No one has a monopoly over Ilm-e-Deen. The values of the Madaaris nowadays are upside down. The weaker students in fact have a greater need to sit in the Takhassus lessons. Those with good isti'daad (ability) are capable of understanding the kutub by mutaala'ah. Because of this type of attitude, we do not discern barkat in the Takhassus students. The Qur'aan and Hadith Takhassus courses are required more by the weaker students.
