Question:
The questioner says: I am in i'tikaf, and I go out to eat at the nearby residence and return quickly, because they. Yes, I. He says: I am in i'tikaf, and I go out to eat at the nearby residence and return quickly; because they do not allow food to be brought into the Haram,

Answer:
If they do not allow food to be brought into the Haram, there is no harm if you go out, eat the food, and return to your i'tikaf, because you are unable to forgo food and they do not allow it to be brought in. So there is nothing wrong with you going out, eating outside the Haram, and returning to the i'tikaf. Yes.
