Q: I am a student at a Christian school. There, we are forced to join Church sessions everyday in a Church and be part of the prayers. Can I attend these sessions provided I do not believe in Christianity?
A: It is totally haraam for you to be present in these prayer sessions which are conducted in the church. Participating in these kufr practices amounts to kufr. You should immediately renew your Imaan and make sincere tawbah to Allah Ta'ala for getting involved in these grave sins and make a firm resolve that you will never repeat this in the future. It is not permissible for a believer to even be present in such an environment where he will succumb to wrong influences and thus be forced to compromise in his Deeni values. Under such circumstances, it is necessary for one to change his school.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
يكفر بوضع قلنسوة المجوس على رأسه على الصحيح إلا لضرورة دفع الحر والبرد ... وبخروجه إلى نيروز المجوس لموافقته معهم فيما يفعلون في ذلك اليوم وبشرائه يوم النيروز شيئا لم يكن يشتريه قبل ذلك تعظيما للنيروز لا للأكل والشرب وبإهدائه ذلك اليوم للمشركين ولو بيضة تعظيما لذلك لا بإجابة دعوة مجوسي حلق رأس ولده وبتحسين أمر الكفار اتفاقا ...(الفتاوى الهندية 2/276)
