Is a young man's leaving his dangerous work with his father in the carpentry workshop and searching for another job with less income considered disobedience to his father and abandonment of him, especially since this work threatens his hand, which he needs for his studies?

"Your leaving the work with your father is not an act of disobedience (ʿuqūq); you are not obliged to work with him. Rather, you are free to work in whatever you choose for your worldly affairs, especially since the two fields are different. However, strive to please your father."
