Question: Can I teach Tafsir without an ijaza?
Answer:
Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Dear questioner,
Thank you for your important question.
One should only teach Tafsir if one’s teachers have told one to do so. I advise you to take this course with Sh. Abdul Rahim Reasat
https://seekersguidance.org/courses/ulum-al-quran-on-revelation-how-it-was-preserved-and-understood-and-why-it-is-true/
You can ask him about the specifics of what you can teach and to whom.
Generally speaking, in order to teach tafsir, one has to have been trained in reading the books of tafsir, besides having a good background in fiqh, theology, usul al-fiqh, hadith, ulum al-Quran, and being strong in Arabic language (grammar, morphology and rhetoric).
I pray this helps.
