Teaching, Learning and Their Proprieties: Is It Ḥarām to Be Negligent in Seeking Knowledge or to Waste Time?
English:
Question #1313:
What is the ruling in the matters of lethargy in gaining knowledge and time wasting? Are they ḥarām?
Answer #1313:
Wasting one’s time by doing nothing is a problematic issue. Should the student be benefiting of the grant and concessions normally accorded to the students, he should have no alternative but to be bound by the curriculum. Otherwise, he is not allowed to avail himself of student grants, scholarships, etc.
