Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: There is a conflict for me between memorizing the Qur'an and seeking knowledge, so which should I pursue?
Answer:
They cannot conflict. Set aside time for memorization and another time for seeking knowledge. They cannot conflict, and may Allah help you. You will not devote all your time to memorization or all your time to seeking knowledge; divide it between the two. Yes.
