The Entry of Medicine, Engineering, and Computer Science into the Knowledge That Is Beneficial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, do medicine, engineering, and computer science fall under the knowledge that is beneficial?

Answer:
No, that is not what is meant. By "beneficial," it means the knowledge of the Shari'ah. As for those, they are permissible; medicine, the sciences of professions, and the noble arts are among the permissible matters. Yes.
