Leaving studies to stay with a sick father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My father is ill, and the doctors say his recovery is not expected. I am studying at the university, and my brothers are taking care of him in the best way. Will I be severing family ties if I go to university for my studies and do not go to him? Or do you advise me to leave the university and stay with him?
Answer:
As long as you have brothers who are taking care of his affairs and serving him, there is nothing wrong with you seeking knowledge. However, it is better for his peace of mind and more kind to ask his permission to do so.
