What is the ruling on a student who seeks the help of one of his relatives in solving his school assignments if the assignments are numerous and he is overcome by drowsiness? "And Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And this says: If a student struggles in solving his assignments and, after seeking help from Allah, seeks the help of one of his relatives, is there any blame on him, especially if the assignments are numerous and he is overcome by drowsiness?

The student: Yes, he is the one who solves it.
The Shaykh : He is the one who solves it and does not seek the help of anyone?
The student: ...

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
