When They Ask Me, Should I Answer?

Question :

I am a female teacher who graduated from the Intermediate College in the class of Islamic Studies, and I have read a number of books on Islamic Jurisprudence. In class, some students ask me questions (about Islamic issues), some of which I answer according to my knowledge, by way of analogy, without going into details about rulings of the lawful and the unlawful. What is the ruling in this?

Answer:

You should refer to the books and rulings, then respond with what seems to be the most correct response. There is no harm in that.

However, if you are not sure about the answer, and it is not clear to you what is correct, you should say that you don't know the answer, and promise them that you will either research the issue and answer them later or ask a scholar to find out what is correct.
