Question:
Our dear Shaykh, some jurists have said that it is not permissible for the one in i'tikaf to relieve himself in the mosque, and if he does, he must hasten to perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer). What is the basis for this opinion, O Shaykh?
Answer:
There is no basis for this opinion. The one in i'tikaf is like any other human being; what happens to human beings happens to him, and there is no blame on him for that. Yes.
