Not to override one’s set Torah study times even to make a lot of money:[1] The set time that one who works establishes for his daily Torah learning, as stated above, must be set in a way that it is not nullified even for the sake of making a large profit.[2] [Such an individual is considered a man of faith, who believes and trusts in G-d that his Torah study will not cause him a loss in income,] as he tells himself that if G-d wills him to make a profit he will make it regardless, even if he delays his work until after his learning.[3]] However, in the event that one needs to deal with a pressing matter during his time of learning, then he may [push it off and] make up the learning later on that day or in the evening.[4] Nonetheless, even in such a case, it is proper for him to learn at least one Halacha or one verse immediately after Shacharis.[5]

Contradiction: This ruling seemingly contradicts the previous ruling brought in the previous sentence which states that one should never nullify his set time of Torah learning even to make a large profit. Indeed, the M”B ibid. when he records this ruling does not state that one may push off his set time of Torah learning in a pressing situation, but rather simply that if due to reasons beyond his control he couldn’t learn during the daytime, then he should make it up at night time. Practically, however, it seems the following is the explanation: To nullify the daytime Torah study for that entire day, and not even make it up at night, is never allowed even to make a lot of money, unless it is due to reasons completely beyond his control. However, to simply change the time and make it up at a later time or earlier time during the day is permitted in a pressing situation. Vetzaruch Iyun. See Piskeiy Teshuvos 155:5; See also Admur Hilchos Talmud Torah 3:4 that he he may shorten his learning session for Parnasa reasons
[5] Admur ibid; M”A ibid; M”B ibid; Emek Habracha ibid; See Avos 6:3; Piskeiy Teshuvos 155:5; See Admur Hilchos Talmud Torah 3:4 that in time of need for single making a living, he may shorten his learning session to learning one chapter at day and one chapter at night, and in a very present situation he may rely even simply reading the Shema by day and night
