What is the ruling on enrolling a daughter in a Christian school with a good educational, social, and linguistic standard, or in an Islamic school with a lower social standard but which teaches the Qur’an and Islamic manners?
There is no room for comparison between Islamic and Kafir (disbelieving) education. The first type of school is better because it teaches the Quran and Islamic manners, and this suffices for any perceived lack in social standing. The second type of school alienates students from Islam and teaches them Christian rituals, and this overshadows its higher social standing. Children must be kept completely away from Christian schools. The most appropriate course of action is for Muslims to focus on developing their own schools and improving their performance.
