Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque). If the one in i'tikaf attends a lesson, does this invalidate his i'tikaf?
Answer:
No. The lesson is a form of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and as long as the lesson is in the mosque, attending it is worship, and it falls within the scope of i'tikaf because it is a remembrance of Allah. However, if it is in another mosque, he does not go to the other mosque for the lesson; he remains in the mosque where he is in i'tikaf and does not go to the other mosque for the sake of the lesson. Yes.
