Question

Hello and blessings, I am studying software engineering, and after the holiday, I have a government exam for which preparation is essential. 1. Is it permissible to study during Chol Hamoed? (Not just for this exam, but also to fill gaps that cause me significant stress) 2. Also, is it permissible to write on the computer? Typing code in a program. Thank you very much, happy holiday!

Answer

Hello and joyous holidays

The study itself is permitted.

Writing for the purpose of study is prohibited - unless it is something that cannot be done at another time, and if not done during the festival, it would result in a loss [such as a lower grade or financial loss].
