The answer

It is not permissible to attend lessons in the church in exchange for financial or in-kind assistance, because it is a bribe to invite Muslims to Christianity, and it leads to the effacement of the doctrine of al-wala' wal-bara' (loyalty and disavowal), and because their upbringing differs from the upbringing of Muslims. The woman must be advised not to go to the church due to the danger this poses to her religion, and that she should refrain from accepting assistance as long as she is not in need. If she is in need, she should first ask Muslims.
