Is seeking knowledge abandoned due to preoccupation with studies?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am still young in age and I attend some lessons and lectures, but my father tells me to pay attention to your studies and leave seeking knowledge for others. So, should I abandon the circles of knowledge?
Answer:
You do not write your circles. Attend to knowledge on the condition that it does not harm you in your lessons or distract you from the lessons you are currently engaged in. You combine the two benefits: you take care of your lessons, and if you have some spare time, you attend some circles of knowledge to benefit from matters and things that you do not get in your lessons. You combine the two goods: you strive for your lessons and take care of them. And if you have some spare time, such as Thursday, such as Friday, such as some times at night, or other times, you attend the gatherings of knowledge and the circles of knowledge, and you associate with your good companions, and the evil ones attend. Yes.
