Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence. This is a listener who seeks a job through education. Is this one of the symptoms of the world that is being pursued?
Answer:
This is based on the fact that actions are judged by intentions, and every person will get what he intended. If he takes the money and the job to help him with worship and obedience to Allah. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As for if he subordinates worship to the position, entering into worship to obtain the position, this is not permissible, and this is among those who seek the world with their deeds. We ask Allah for safety. Allah threatened them with the most severe warning.[Hud 11:15]. [Hud 11:15-17] He takes the money given to him in order to help him with obedience to Allah and the performance of the obligatory duties, so there is no harm.
As for the one who worships Allah and performs worship because he has a desire for one of the desires of the world, he is the one upon whom the warning is:[Hud 11:15]. Yes.

(16) Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do. (17) So is one who
نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا النَّارُ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا فِيهَا وَبَاطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ أَفَمَن كَانَAs for the one who worships Allah and performs worship because he has a desire for one of the desires of the world, he is the one upon whom the warning is:
