Is it permissible for a Sunni woman to become an Islamic education teacher for the Ibadi school of thought if she will be compelled to teach according to the Ibadi school of thought in a country where only this school of thought exists?
It is not permissible to teach the Ibadi doctrine due to its deviations from the السنة (Sunnah) of Ahl al-Sunnah, and because the teacher cannot deny its falsehood. Allah has commanded cooperation in righteousness and piety, and forbidden cooperation in sin and aggression. Moreover, whoever calls to misguidance bears its sin and the sin of those who follow him. One should seek another field of teaching, such as memorizing the Quran or teaching in kindergartens.
