Balancing Serving People and Seeking Religious Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Which is better, striving to serve people in their worldly affairs, or teaching religious knowledge and calling people to it, knowing that both have a benefit that extends to others?
Answer:
Both, and they do not conflict with each other. Seeking knowledge has its time, and serving people and calling them has its time as well, and this does not conflict with that.
