Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person performs i'tikaf in the Haram or in another mosque, is it better for him to devote himself entirely to worship, dhikr, and prayer, or is it better for him to attend the lessons of the scholars that are held in that mosque?
Answer:
If the scholars' lessons take up the time, no, he does not attend them. But if the lesson of knowledge is at a specific time and is not too long, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
