All praise is for Allaah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and prayers be upon Muhammad, his family and companions. "It is upon the teachers to co-operate with one another upon righteousness and piety, as the Prophet (may Allaahs prayers and peace be upon) ordered with his statement: "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim, he does not leave him (when he is being harmed or is facing a trial) nor does he oppress him." (Bukhaaree and Muslim) ...and he said: “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Bukhaaree and Muslim) ...and he said: " Do not envy one another, do not cut off from one another, do not hate one another and do not turn away from one another, be worshippers of Allaah and brothers." (Bukhaaree and Muslim). It is also authentically reported from the Messenger of Allaah that he said: "The doors of Jannah are opened every Monday and Thursday, so every servant who does not commit shirk with Allaah is forgiven, except a man who has enmity or a feud between him and his brother. So it will be said; Wait for these two until they make amends and reconcile." (Muslim). Therefore it is not for any of the teachers to transgress upon another, or to harm him with a statement or an action without right, for indeed Allaah the most high has said: "And those who harm believing men and women undeservedly, they bear the crime of slander and plain sin." (Al-Ahzaab: 58) ...and it is not for anyone to punish another where there is no oppression being committed, nor to go beyond the limit or to lose sight of the truth, and not to punish because of desires. As this is from the oppression that Allaah and His Messenger have forbidden. For verily the most high has said from what has been narrated from His Prophet: "O My servants, I have forbidden oppression upon myself and I have made it forbidden between you, so do not oppress one another." (Muslim). So if an individual did something wrong, then it is not allowed that he be punished with other than the legislated Islaamic punishment and it is not for any one of the teachers to punish with whatever they wish, nor for anyone to help them or agree with them in that. Like he (the teacher) orders that Hajr (Abandonment) be made of an individual, so Hajr is made of him with the absence of any sin being committed, because this is exactly the type of action which was done by the priests and monks with the christians and done by the jews and what the leaders of misguidance do with their followers. For indeed As-Siddeeq (Abu Bakr may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "Obey me as long as I obey Allaah, for if I disobey Allaah then there is no obedience to me upon you." and the Prophet (may Allaahs prayers and peace be upon) has said: "There is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the creator." (Musnad of Imaam Ahmad). So if the teacher orders the Hajr of an individual…
