Is it permissible for a person in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to move from one mosque to another?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person performed i'tikaf in a mosque during the last ten nights, and then after several nights, one of the imams appointed him to pray on his behalf in another mosque. Does he transfer his i'tikaf, or does he go pray with them and then return to his original mosque?

Answer:
No, no, he does not go to pray, and he does not accept the agency. He completes his i'tikaf, and the imam appoints someone else to act as his agent.
