Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 2:5 He who does this to the faces of the people, Allah will cast him into the Fire. It was narrated by Ibn Majah from Abu Hurayrah. He says: Does this prohibition include worldly knowledge?
Answer:
No, the discussion is about religious knowledge. Worldly knowledge consists of crafts; you learn them for the sake of making a living and earning a livelihood. However, knowledge that is not learned for the purpose of earning a livelihood or seeking this world, but rather for the sake of worship and the deeds of the Hereafter, is religious knowledge. As for technical knowledge, there is no harm in it; it is a profession or a trade, just like other trades. Yes.
