The Ruling on Learning from the Dhimmi

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to learn from the dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection)?

Answer:
Learning worldly matters is permissible, but as for religious matters, it is not permissible to learn them from a disbeliever. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
