Fathwa, - Studying must not prevent you from your religious obligations

Question
Assalam aleikum, I am a single lady currently working and attending
evening classes for Accounts. Alhamdulillahi I have completed 4
sections out of the 6 sections. There is one thing that is bothering
me at the moment, the issue of coming home late at night because of
attending the classes. I dont feel comfortable at all. I dont have
enough time to be with my family and I am thinking of not continuing
with the remaining sections. With the sections I have completed, I can
retain my job and even stand a chance to get another low or middle
level job to support my livelihood. Is it okay if i quit studying and
have time with my family and concentrate with studying my deen? Thank
you.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
Your studying is not something obligatory upon you and thus there is
nothing wrong with stopping it. Hence, if your studying prevents you
from learning what you have to learn of the matters of your religion
or prevents you from doing your obligations such as being dutiful to
your parents, then it is obligatory upon you to quit it and it is not
permissible for you to continue it.
Please refer to Fatwa 83607on the pre-conditions for a Muslim woman to work.
Allaah Knows best.
