Which is better in al-Masjid al-Haram: attending a scholarly lecture or reciting the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you are inside al-Masjid al-Haram and a lecture is being delivered, which is better: attending the lecture or reciting the Qur'an?

Answer:
It is better for you to attend the lecture, because its time passes, whereas the time for reciting the Qur'an does not pass. So you should prioritize attending the lecture and recite the Qur'an at another time.
