Is it permissible for a Muslim

A: Abandoning seeking knowledge for fear of negligence of acting upon it is a deception of Satan to lead the sons of Adam astray. It is obligatory on Muslims to be keen on acquiring beneficial knowledge and performing good deeds. The Prophet (peace be upon him said): Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim. He (peace be upon him) also stated: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. Refraining from seeking knowledge on such a weak pretext is known only about deviant Sufis. Thus, it is obligatory to ignore such a deception and to embark upon seeking beneficial knowledge.
