Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I pray Fajr in the mosque next to my house, then I go to another mosque where there is a lesson until the sun rises, and then I pray two rak'ahs. Do I fall under the hadith completely, completely?
Answer:
You went to seek knowledge, and this is better than sitting to remember Allah in the mosque. This is better. Your going to seek knowledge is better than sitting in the mosque after the prayer, remembering Allah until the sun rises. The virtue of seeking knowledge is immense.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits and remembers Allah until the sun rises, he has the reward of a Hajj and an 'Umrah.
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من صلى الفجر في جماعة ثم جلس يذكر الله إلى طلوع الشمس فله أجر حجة وعمرةAnswer:
You went to seek knowledge, and this is better than sitting to remember Allah in the mosque. This is better. Your going to seek knowledge is better than sitting in the mosque after the prayer, remembering Allah until the sun rises. The virtue of seeking knowledge is immense.
