There is no objection to working or studying with a non-Muslim, so long as it does not lead to committing something forbidden by Islamic law. Reliance [upon Allah] () is an act of the heart that depends on the sincerity of trust in Allah while taking the necessary means. Taking permissible means does not contradict reliance [upon Allah]; rather, it completes it.
