Moving to seek knowledge and leaving one's mother alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I live in a village four hundred kilometers from Riyadh, and there are no students of knowledge there. Is it permissible for me to go to Riyadh, for example, and move there, leaving my mother alone in this village, given that she has given me permission to go?
Answer:
You should combine the two. Seeking knowledge has its time, and staying with your mother has its time. That is, you combine them: sometimes you sit with her, and sometimes you go to seek knowledge with her permission, if she gives it. Yes.
