Question:
This questioner says: Is it valid for one of them to go out to bring food for the people in i'tikaf?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, there is nothing wrong with it, but there is a point regarding the collective i'tikaf that has appeared among people; this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). A person should withdraw; he does not become with people, accompanying them, sleeping, and chatting. This is not i'tikaf. I'tikaf is that one withdraws for the remembrance of Allah, isolating himself from people except for the congregational prayer, dedicating himself to the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
