Question:
Which is better for the one in i'tikaf: to occupy himself with worship or with knowledge?

Answer:
Recitation and studying books are part of worship. He should occupy himself with what Allah has made easy for him, with what makes him more active and more humble in his heart. Sometimes with prayer, sometimes with dhikr, sometimes with reading the Qur'an, sometimes with reading books of knowledge and hadith. He should look at what is best and most beneficial for him and most humble for his heart. They are all acts of worship, and if there are study circles, he should attend them.
