Rightfully Qualified to Assess

in my view, subjects such as mathematics, science, accounting, history, geography, economics, and others require only individuals who are skilled in those fields to evaluate them, regardless of race or background... the same applies to language subjects - if a non‑Muslim is proficient in Arabic, they are qualified to give opinions or even serve as an evaluation panel... however, when it comes to Islamic Religious Studies, the evaluator must not only be knowledgeable but also a Muslim... this means that a non‑Muslim cannot provide opinions or assess this subject in any capacity... no matter how skilled they may be, they are not eligible - unless they profess the two declarations of faith and truly believe that there is no God but Allah SWT and that Prophet Muhammad SAW is His messenger, which is the First Pillar of Islam... only then would they be considered qualified: both knowledgeable and a Muslim...
