The answer

It is impermissible to participate in writing or printing exams that contain blasphemous words, based on the words of Allah Almighty: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. If the matter reaches an unbearable harm (such as severe beating or prolonged imprisonment), then it is permissible due to necessity, based on the words of Allah Almighty: (And He has already explained to you what He has forbidden to you, except for that to which you are compelled). Allah's provision is not confined to a specific job or a particular country.
