Is learning worldly sciences such as medicine and engineering, with the intention of raising one's social status, changing people's perception, and pride from one's children, considered a Sharia violation that could amount to prohibition, given current financial sufficiency?

Learning sciences that benefit society is a communal obligation (fard al-kifaya), and Muslims must ensure that there are individuals who undertake this task. Therefore, whoever wishes to engage in such work should raise their ambition and intend thereby the worship of Allah and the service of society, thus combining the good of this world and the Hereafter. As for one whose intention is limited to material gain, they are not described as having committed a Sharia violation, but they miss out on much good and a great reward, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have but what he intended."
