Leaving companions who occupy you from seeking knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have, praise be to Allah, the resolve to seek knowledge, but my companions do not help me in that. However, when I sit alone, I begin to seek knowledge, memorize, review, and organize my time. So should I leave my companions and not sit with them except during breaks? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Sit with those from whom you benefit. Sit with those from whom you benefit, and do not sit with those from whom you do not benefit for the sake of seeking knowledge, because they cut into your time and waste your time. So do not keep the company of anyone except those from whom you benefit and who help you in seeking knowledge. Yes.
