Advice for students of knowledge who neglect the rights of their homes and children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a woman asking: What is your advice for students of knowledge who are occupied with knowledge and neglect the rights of their homes and children?
The Shaykh:
He loves you.
The questioner:
In the rights of their homes and children, and they do not work. And he says: The one whose occupation is buying onions instead of seeking knowledge has not learned.
The Shaykh:
No, that is not correct. Meaning, you neglect one aspect and fulfill another; this is not valid. Combine the two matters: seek knowledge and attend to the needs of your children. Seeking knowledge has its time, and working and earning and attending to your children’s needs have another time. Organize your affairs. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
