And today there is no room for half measures in knowledge.
Seek useful knowledge as Allah enables, be sure of it, and shun half-learning.
Today, some harm Sharia, misread Islam, and add to religion what isn't from it.
They settle for half-measures. They know some things; others escape them.
And this does not absolve one.

You need firm knowledge, according to your ability, so be diligent.
And Allah ﷻ knows you did your best.
