The ruling on taking the wage of a worker who loves seeking knowledge if he is released to devote himself to seeking knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence, some owners of institutions ask about a man who works for them, and this man is a seeker of knowledge. They say: If we let him go to devote himself to seeking knowledge, will I receive a reward like the reward of the seeker of knowledge, which we hear is that the fish seek forgiveness for him, to the end of the hadith?
If this worker is released to seek knowledge, he will certainly be rewarded for that and will be recompensed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever equips a warrior for jihad has participated in the jihad) So we say: whoever frees a seeker of knowledge to seek knowledge, he is like the seeker of knowledge, and (whoever assists in good is like the one who does it, and whoever points to good is like the one who does it) All the texts indicate that a person is rewarded; he is rewarded with the reward of this seeker, and the reason is apparent, because if he had not been granted permission to seek knowledge, he would not have been able to seek knowledge.
