The questioner : In the hadith, O honorable Shaykh, Riyad as-Salihin 1383 does this include worldly sciences such as physics, chemistry, and mathematics, or is it restricted to religious knowledge?
The Shaykh : Any knowledge for which a servant is rewarded, and then he teaches it to others, the students are rewarded for it, and when they are rewarded, he receives a share of their reward after his death that he deserves. As for that which has no reward in learning it, there is no reward in it at all, so we cannot say that it continues. For example, the knowledge of tafsir, tawhid (the oneness of Allah), fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), its principles, and Arabic; all these are sciences for which a person is rewarded. So if he teaches it to someone, that student is rewarded, and the teacher receives a share of his reward that he deserves. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner says.
