Is delaying turning off the light after one's mother has commanded it considered haraam, even if one is preoccupied with something permissible like reading and writing religiously and worldly beneficial questions? And must what was written be torn up, and is it forbidden to read the questions later from paper or the internet because they remind one of the sin?
You must hasten to carry out your mother's command. If time is short, you can gently ask her permission to postpone your answer. In this way, you combine pleasing her with the interest of your work. There is no need to tear up what has been written because that is wasteful. Benefit from what you have written and resolve to fulfill your mother's requests in the future.
