Answer

My view is negative. One of my colleagues already wrote (Nadav Shnerb, in a booklet he wrote in his youth) that if they are exempt from ordinary human effort, then they should not involve themselves in earning a living, health care, or anything else. Let them sit and study, and everything will work out for them and for us. Maimonides’ words there speak about someone who has exempted himself from all worldly pursuits, not only from the army. There are almost no such people today, and the few who do exist indeed may have grounds for exemption (but only with social agreement, of course).
