The Ruling on Making a Condition in I'tikaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there any evidence for making a condition in i'tikaf? And what is better, that a person makes a condition or that he does not?
Answer:
He makes a condition that he will go out for such and such, that he will visit a sick person; there is no objection to that. He makes a condition that he will stay in the mosque during the day and go out at night to sleep in his house. For example, if his wife needs him to be with her at night, there is no contradiction. Yes.
