Question:
A person sought knowledge for a period of time, then abandoned the path of seeking knowledge, excusing himself by saying that knowledge requires effort and patience, and that he cannot bear these hardships. Is this considered turning away from the religion of Allah?
Answer:
It is a type of turning away. However, if he has learned the fundamentals of his religion, the pillars of Islam, and the necessary knowledge, and he is lazy about learning the knowledge that is a collective obligation (fard kifayah), this is forbidden. This is undoubtedly forbidden and an error. Yes.
