Question:
Does i'tikaf get invalidated, or are there things that invalidate i'tikaf, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is invalidated if one of its conditions is lacking. If it is performed in a mosque where the congregation does not gather, then the i'tikaf is invalid. If he has intercourse with his wife while he is in i'tikaf, this invalidates his i'tikaf. If he repeatedly goes out without a need, this either diminishes or invalidates his i'tikaf. Yes.
