The questioner : The questioner says: She mentions that she is a disabled young woman. She says: I have finished middle school and I desire Islamic knowledge as soon as possible. Therefore, I am considering leaving school for two reasons: the first is seeking Islamic knowledge, and the second is the severity of my disability to the point that I am extremely tired from going to school. I am confused about my situation. Some of my brothers say: Leave school so you can rest and let others rest. Others say: Continue so you can enter the College of Sharia and obtain the Islamic knowledge you desire. What is your advice?

The Shaykh : My advice is that you devote yourself to seeking Islamic knowledge, which is available, praise be to Allah, today by listening to the tapes of scholars who are trustworthy in their knowledge and their trustworthiness, without burdening yourself or burdening others. This is what I see. So seek help from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and strive to review Islamic sciences from the mouths of scholars via telephone, or by listening to tapes, or through useful letters and books. We ask Allah the Exalted to reward you and grant you reward for what has befallen you, and to make it an elevation in your ranks and an expiation for your sins.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
