The answer

The questioner is advised to reconcile her mother's desire for her to study a university major she dislikes with her own eagerness for religious sciences. This can be done by trying to persuade her mother to allow her to study religious sciences at a specialized university, seeking help from close relatives to convince her. Alternatively, she can continue her current university studies and utilize vacation periods to memorize the Quran and study religious sciences through available means. She must satisfy her mother's wish regarding her studies if it is beneficial for her and causes no harm.
