The relevant sayings of the Prophet (SAW) may be noted:
The best fields of knowledge are those which bring benefits.
O, Allah! Benefit me through knowledge that You have bestowed on me, teach me whatever would benefit me, and increase my knowledge
- If knowledge of a science is a prerequisite to the attainment of Islamic goal as imaged by the Shari'ah, its pursuit is an obligation (Wajib) since it entails the preliminary condition for fulfillment of a duty prescribed by the Shari'ah. For example, the physical welfare of individuals in an Islamic society is necessary, hence it is a "Wajib kifa'i" for the Muslims to study medicine.
