Balancing the Study of Issues with the Mastery of Lessons

Question:
We proceed to legislation, may Allah grant you success. I am a university student in the early levels, and I am working on updating some issues, and I have the ability to do so, so I must balance between the opinions of the scholars, on the condition that I do not contradict the opinion of our scholars,

Answer:
And the best thing, by Allah, is that you focus on your studies and the mastery and memorization of your lessons. If you are assigned a research project by the teacher, then you research it. Otherwise, you are wasting your time on research and wasting your studies, which is not appropriate. A person’s time is limited and his energy is limited, so he should devote his energy and time to mastering his daily lessons, and not move on to anything until he has understood and memorized it. This is what the student of knowledge should aim for.
And this research has its time; it is not always research. It has specific times. If you are asked to research, you do so within the limits of the regulations, within the limits of what they plan for you, saying within such and such limits.
