What is the ruling on continuing studies in an international division that teaches science and mathematics in English, in addition to English literature that contains Christian myths, knowing that the student is in a Quran memorization circle, and do you advise completing studies in this division given the importance of the English language in the job market?

"Those responsible for education must keep corrupt beliefs out of the curricula and choose what benefits the students. There is no harm in studying English literature, including its myths, out of necessity and to learn the language, provided one is cautious about its contents and teachers alert the students. This falls under the same ruling as studying pre-Islamic poetry to learn the language, despite its deviations."
