  Q- Which is better: Giving Daýwah or seeking knowledge?

A ý Seeking knowledge is better and a priority. Also, it is possible to give daýwah (invite people to Islam) while seeking knowledge. But it is not possible, however, to give daýwah without knowledge.
Allah says:
ýSay (O Muhammad): ýThis is my way; I invite unto Allaah with sure knowledge...ý (Qurýan, 12:108)

So how can daýwah be given without knowledge? No one has ever given daýwah without knowledge, and whoever has done so, will not succeed.
