Question:
salamualakum sheikh
Is studying medical to become a doctor WITH having a niat of gaining sawab and halal rizq good… Does studying THE MBBS COURSE then become an Ibadat????? OR IS IT JUST MUBAH . DO WE GAIN SAWAB IF WE HAVE THE ABOVE INTENTION that is to please ALLAH by curing people and thus gaining HALAL rizq!!!! …… BUT given dt i dont have full knowledge of aqaid and other islamic sciences but just a lil bit of knowledge ? Should i first learn the islamic sciences or concentrate on my bio studies as both cant go hand in hand because the course of mbbs is huge……?also given that i live in kashmir where i think jihad is a fard!???
