Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on seeking religious knowledge, and what is the ruling on seeking applied worldly sciences such as engineering and medicine, among others?
Answer:
Seeking religious knowledge is either recommended or obligatory. That which is necessary for the religion to be established is obligatory, and whatever exceeds that is recommended. So, seeking religious knowledge is prescribed, either as an obligation or as a recommendation. As for seeking worldly knowledge, crafts, and trades, this is permissible. Praise be to Allah, this is permissible. If it is facilitated for a person to learn it, and he benefits from it and benefits people, that is good. Yes.
