Abstract
Doctrinal education, which is responsible for shaping the correct belief system of learners, is one of the important aspects of religious education, and its methods are significant. Among the methods of doctrinal education is the teaching of correct beliefs and their correction. The method of teaching doctrinal doubts and responding to them, as one of the instances of education—since it may cause some learners to experience instability in their beliefs—is examined from the perspective of educational jurisprudence. The lack of comprehensive research on this topic and its relevance highlight the necessity of addressing this study. This research seeks to answer the question of what the jurisprudential ruling is regarding the teaching of doctrinal doubts and responses to them as a method. By examining this subject under two axes of prevention and treatment, it concludes that teaching doctrinal doubts along with responding to them, as a means of preventing and treating doctrinal deviations, is not only permissible but in some cases preferable and even obligatory. An analytical and ijtihad-based method has been employed in this research.
