The Ruling on Devoting Oneself to Seeking Knowledge While Working
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I work in the Kingdom, and I have my young daughter and my wife. I want to devote myself to seeking knowledge, and my wife is happy with that, but I am afraid my father and mother will object to it, because what concerns them is improving their material circumstances, and they do not need me financially. What is the ruling on my devoting myself to seeking knowledge?
Answer:
Full devotion is not possible for you, because you are providing for your family and your parents. Full devotion is not confirmed, but combine the two: work during working hours and seek knowledge during your free time in the evening, not at night. Combine the two, and Allah will help you.
