Question:
The last question: We see in the newspapers the disparagement of opening Shari'ah faculties; because they do not have jobs, what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
We do not pay attention to this talk. Islamic studies are not for the sake of jobs. Islamic studies are worship of Allah, bringing one closer to Allah, and for the benefit of the person himself and his benefit to others. It is not for the sake of jobs or for the job market, as they say. That is for workers. Are scholars workers? Scholars are nobler than that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
