Is a wife considered sinful if she becomes preoccupied, to the detriment of her husband and children, with completing her higher education, of which only six months remain, especially given that her husband initially encouraged her, but later expressed discomfort without explicitly asking her to stop?

A woman is permitted to study if the field of study is permissible, if it does not lead to forbidden mixing, and with her husband's permission. She must combine her studies with attending to the affairs of her husband and children. If her studies conflict with her husband's interests, there is no harm as long as he has given her permission. However, if her studies conflict with the interests of her children, reference should be made to No. 92840.
