Question:
In a Dargah near my house, they have allocated a separate place and teach Quran reading to women from 2 to 3 PM. That time is easy for me. Can I go there to learn?
Answer:
Generally, learning the Quran is permissible anywhere. There is no prohibition on learning from anyone, even from a non-Muslim teacher, as long as the learning material is correct. The Prophetﷺ allowed prisoners of war from the Battle of Badr who could read and write to teach Ansari children in Medina as their ransom.
So, learning from people of other faiths is allowed. However, you must be cautious. If, along with teaching the Quran, they also teach beliefs contrary to Islam (like venerating saints, seeking their intercession, etc.), then you should avoid that place. But if they only teach the correct recitation of the Quran, it should be fine.
Ask them what they teach. If it’s pure Quran, you can learn. If it’s mixed with Shirk, then you must protect yourself and your family. Allahﷻ says, “Protect yourselves and your families from the Fire.” So, discern the situation and decide.
