Is it permissible to reduce the time spent in worship—such as Qiyam al-Layl (night vigil prayer), adhkar (remembrance of Allah), and sitting in the mosque after prayer—in order to make time for studying during periods of academic pressure, and is this considered selling the Hereafter for the worldly life?
There is no blame upon you for reducing supererogatory acts of worship due to the need for studying. This is not selling the Hereafter for worldly gain, and it is hoped that you will be rewarded for what you used to do during your free time.
