Is it permissible to act upon the words of Sheikh Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Shinqiti by staying up until dawn to pursue worldly knowledge, then sleeping until noon, in order to benefit from the quiet atmosphere for studying? And are there other meanings the Sheikh did not explicitly state in his words?
There is no harm in staying up late to study worldly knowledge if it serves a preponderant benefit, such as aiding in studying. It may also be accompanied by intentions that transform it into an act of worship.
