Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Regarding the son, if he fears the school, we focus on him and his education in the Islamic sciences. Now, if for example we focus on memorizing the Qur'an and the important Islamic sciences, the articulation points of the letters, and the pronunciation of Arabic... meaning, it is better so that if he fears the school, he does not benefit from the benefit, for example, that which serves the Muslim community specifically, if for example he graduates from some institutes or... does he have conditions that one cannot enter with grades? Is there such a thing? So, do we have the right, for example, to make the focus on teaching the child the Islamic sciences?
The Shaykh : This is a right, just as you pronounce it, but is it possible to combine both matters?
The questioner : For example, if my son graduates and wants to enter pharmacy, it is difficult for him to enter medicine; there are connections and conditions. And if I make his focus on the Islamic sciences, for example, I am from the tribe of... this is, for example, from the Harbi tribe, meaning he would be prioritized over me!
The Shaykh : Certainly, this?
Another questioner : I am hearing about it for the first time.
The questioner : I mean, it is a question from our brother, may Allah reward you with good, summarize it in something if it is a question and an answer.The Shaykh : Combining both matters, that he learns the Islamic sciences and also does not fall short in the other sciences. But it is not clear to me, if you are interested in the first door, for example, does he not get accepted into medicine, for example? Immediately he gets accepted, for example, let me say, meaning.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Now, in some places there are conditions... like being a naturalized citizen and having a child. Well, my son, actually, my tribe is Najri.
The Shaykh : What is the ruling from the Islamic legal perspective?
The questioner : If I focus on teaching my son the Islamic sciences, is there any harm?
The Shaykh : Focus.
The questioner : If you prevent him?
Another questioner : Do not prevent him.
The Shaykh : I told you, if combining them is possible, but if it is not possible, then religion is more important.
