Question:
Asalaam alaikum wr wb beloved eshaykh staff and Maulana Shaykh Hisham.
Please could Maulana Shaykh Hisham please do istikarah for me if I should study to become a Islamic scholar? MSH told me to connect my heart to MSN and do whatever comes to heart. I recently joined a course in my town about basic Islamic knowledge and after my first lesson I felt as though I should study about Islam and do a course to become a scholar. I talked to my dad who is also a mureed and he laughed at me and wants me to go university. I don’t want to go and have a big financial debt on me for the rest of my life. After I began to cry as if all my sins were forgiven. Could you please do istikarah.
Jazak Allah Khairan.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
You can go to a university that has a department of Islamic studies and ask your father to help you with school fees.
