The answer

The Arabic language is the emblem of the people of Islam and the language of the Quran. Turning away from it is reprehensible, as it involves imitating the disbelievers and contradicts the glory of Islam. Habitually using a foreign language affects one's intellect, character, and religion, unless there is a necessity to speak it. Therefore, there is no blame on a student or teacher for studying sciences in a language other than Arabic if this is imposed upon them by governmental authorities and serves the interests of the learners.
