The Ruling on Seeking Religious and Worldly Knowledge from Disbelievers

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, do we include the cases you mentioned regarding seeking worldly knowledge, as in the hadith of Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him)? He says: Do the cases you mentioned include this?

Answer:
The intent is for learning. Worldly knowledge, as for religious knowledge, it is not suitable in the lands of the disbelievers.
You do not go to the lands of the disbelievers to learn religious knowledge; this is not permissible. Only worldly sciences are sought: engineering, medicine, weapons, and training in weapons. Worldly sciences are what are sought from the disbelievers if they are not found in the lands of the Muslims. As for religious knowledge, it is not permissible to seek it in the lands of the disbelievers, nor is it permissible to learn from the disbelievers. What destroyed the Muslims was only their children learning religious sciences from the Orientalists, who made them doubt their religion and their beliefs. This is not permissible.
