Is reading fatwas daily for two hours considered seeking beneficial religious knowledge that carries great virtue? And is it permissible to continue doing so during a time of pressure, such as an approaching professional exam, or is it preferable to postpone it?
Reading fatwas with the intention of learning is a type of seeking knowledge that falls under the : "Whoever traverses a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise." Seeking knowledge includes all religious sciences, whether minor or extensive, and for this, great reward is hoped for you. It is obligatory to acquire immediate knowledge without delay, while non-immediate knowledge may be delayed. It is possible to combine seeking religious knowledge with worldly studies by organizing time and avoiding excessive social interactions and sleep. If a conflict arises that harms your studies, prioritize what is more important, with the intention of making up for the missed religious knowledge during your free time.
