Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is devoting oneself to seeking knowledge blameworthy, like devoting oneself to worship, or is there a difference between the two?
Answer:
Yes, if he is able to secure the means of sustenance but sits and seeks knowledge without having anything, becoming a burden on people, this is blameworthy. He should combine seeking knowledge with seeking sustenance at specific times.
