The ruling on enrolling Muslim children in the schools of disbelievers in Western countries

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is your advice to some of the brothers residing in France who enroll their young children, those under six years old, in preparatory schools specific to disbelievers, where they learn the religion of the disbelievers and study songs and the festivals of the disbelievers, even though these are not obligatory for them under the system?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to enroll his children in the schools of disbelievers. In Muslim schools, in the communities or minorities of Muslims, he enrolls his children with the children of the Muslims there.
