Question:

salam alaykum.i worked as a teacher in a secondary school.and sometimes i am being requested to supervise the conduction of examinations which include the christian religious knowledge exam.am i in any way supporting kufr?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His Slave and Messenger.

If this subject is taught to the students on the basis of criticizing it and clarifying its falsehood, and it is on this basis that the questions for the examinations are asked, then there is nothing wrong with supervising them. But if this subject is taught to the students without any rejection of it or clarification of the falsehood that it contains, then it is not permissible to supervise these examinations or assist in them in any way, because this is helping in sin, and Allaah says (what means): {And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allaah; indeed, Allaah is severe in penalty.}[Quran 5:2]

Allaah Knows best.
