Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: One who is occupied with memorizing the Qur'an and seeking knowledge, and is unable to recite the Qur'an to complete a recitation, does he sin?
Answer:
Seeking knowledge does not prevent him from setting aside time to recite the Qur'an so that he completes a recitation. He can allocate half a juz or a full juz each day. This does not hinder his seeking of knowledge; rather, reviewing the Qur'an helps him in his pursuit of knowledge. He combines both: reciting the Qur'an and seeking knowledge, and there is no conflict between them. Yes.
