Question:
He says: I am a young man studying in the Faculty of Sharia in Syria, and there are national socialist subjects and books on secular laws, which contain religious violations and encourage ruling by other than what Allah has revealed. Is it permissible for me to pay a sum of money to pass in these subjects? Knowing that one who writes well in them may fail the exam more than once, and it hinders the call to Allah while there is a need for it in those lands.
Answer:
A Muslim studies the matters of his religion and his worldly affairs. He studies what benefits him in his religion, and that is the primary concern. He studies what benefits him in his worldly affairs from the useful, permissible sciences. As for studying laws and studying the systems of disbelief, this is not permissible for a Muslim. It is not permissible for a Muslim to study them unless he intends to criticize them and respond to them. As for studying them in order to get a job with them and work in them, this is not permissible for a Muslim.
