The Ruling on Studying Under a Christian Teacher

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah send His blessings upon you. This is a questioner from al-Qassim who says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a student at King Saud University, the al-Qassim branch, and we have a Christian teacher. What is my position toward this teacher? He says: A Christian teacher is teaching him. And the useful one. At King Saud University, the al-Qassim branch.

Answer:
If he is teaching him worldly subjects like engineering or mechanics or other worldly things in which he has expertise, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he is teaching him matters of religion, it is not permissible for him to speak about them or to sit with him. Yes. And we are certain that he is not teaching him matters of religion, by the permission of Allah the Exalted. If Allah wills.
