Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: When does i'tikaf end for one who intends to observe i'tikaf for the last ten days?
Answer:
We have answered this question several times. The i'tikaf of the last ten days ends with the setting of the sun on the first night of Shawwal. If the crescent moon marking the end of Ramadan is sighted, the i'tikaf of the ten days ends and Ramadan ends. So, the i'tikaf ends with the end of the ten days, and the ten days end with the sighting of the crescent moon on the night of the festival. Yes.
