Jazakallahu khair to the Shaykh. Great comments and advise. As someone who is trying to study part time with family and work commitments, I wanted to add a couple of points:

1. Many of us just want to study part time to get closer to Allah. We may never reach the level of a scholar and that’s ok. I think its important to encourage the average Muslim to pursue a part time path of study based on whatever level of commitment they can give. For some, it may be a weekly one hour halaqa that improves their faith, quality of salah, and basic understanding of Quran and Hadith. Others might be able to pursue the equivalent of a part time associates, etc. Not necessarily becoming a scholar or Mufti, but still part time study as a student of knowledge.

2. Its important to know your boundaries especially as a part-time student. Many people gain a bit of knowledge and think they are qualified to give religious rulings, which is very dangerous. Part time Islamic study can be very beneficial and provide inspiration to the individual and the community, but knowing one’s boundaries and limitations is essential. Someone who is seeking knowledge should not become a harm to the community by overstepping their limits
