This letter is from `Abdul `Aziz Bin `Abdullah Ibn Baz to the honorable Minister of Higher Education Shaykh Hasan ibn `Abdullah Al AlShaykh, May Allah protect him!
Assalamu `alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)
It is known that the university offers various religious and academic curricula and there are many professors who teach these curricula. Some of them are originally from other countries and are raised on certain unacceptable ideas. It is the university students who are mostly affected by these ideas since most of them are not equipped with sufficient knowledge or insight to face such doubtful matters. When I was invited by some universities to give lectures, I realized that the students are in dire need of care and you are responsible for them.
Based on that, I suggest we give the matter due attention by unifying lectures on all universities and stipulating that they should be given by suitable professors from the city in which each university is located. Furthermore, when there is a need for a rare specialization, the university must invite scholars of this specialization even if they are from other countries and facilitate their visit. Your Excellency can coordinate the matter with the responsible religious authorities to carry out this mission. Moreover, it is important to inform different universities to select the professors who will deliver the lectures. I ask Allah to bless your efforts, benefit others through them and guide us all to what pleases Him and set right the affairs of His Servants! Peace be upon you!
Chairman of the Departments of Scholarly Research, Ifta', Daw`ah, and Guidance
