Do the scholars of natural sciences have a virtue like that of the scholars of the Shari'ah?

Question:
He says: Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Sina, Ibn Jama'ah al-Katani, and others hold that the sciences are the sciences of religion, and everything else, including military sciences, is excluded, except for the despised sciences. So, are their practitioners also considered scholars? Do they possess the same morals as the scholars of religion? Consequently, are university professors among the scholars who must possess such morals? Do the scholars of religion guide the other scholars in morals? We ask that this type of scholar not be deprived of the favor of Allah.

Answer:
The answer to this depends on their good intentions, their desire for good, and their activity in the knowledge of the Shari'ah. They will have their share accordingly. However, the engineer and the doctor are not like the scholar of the Shari'ah. One is a scholar of the Shari'ah, and the other is a scholar of something else. The doctor, the engineer, the astronomer, and their like have worldly sciences. These sciences have no share of religious knowledge except to the extent that they turn to the Shari'ah, care for the Shari'ah, and strive for it. If they care for the Shari'ah and turn to it, they will have their share of religious knowledge, virtue, and reward. If they turn away from it, they are like the other worldly sciences.
