Is it permissible for the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to leave for the Friday prayer if the Friday prayer is not held in his mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the one in i'tikaf to leave for the Friday prayer if the Friday prayer is not held in his mosque?

Answer:
He must do this, because the Friday prayer does not repeat; it occurs only once a week. He is required to go out and pray the Friday prayer with the Muslims.
