Question

I want to know whether pursing for higher studies abroad (USA or UK ) with the ONLY intention that one will be more comfortable in getting job is also comes under Ibaadah, knowning that one can get the job easily ( though with less salary) where one is staying.

Answer

Studying in these universities quite often compels one to make compromises on his Deen. So, we cannot say that studying at these institutions fall within the purview of Ibaadah.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
