Attending school and hifz class

Question

My son does not do well at school, so my wife and I decided that he does full time haafaz classes in order to open his mind. After speaking to lots of people and my son, they say he needs to do both. Please advice as this is important.

Answer

When you are not clear about something, I suggest that you don't adopt it fully. You rather send him to school and hifz class.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

What if a haafiz forgets the Qur'an?

“The responsibility of a haafiz is a great responsibility and neglecting this responsibility is extremely serious. It is imperative for the parents to encourage the child according to the child's capability and potential.”
