Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the one observing i'tikaf, he says: Is it permissible for him to go out on some days to attend to his children's needs?
Answer:
He does not go out except to the extent of his own needs, such as relieving himself, performing wudu, or bringing in food if he has no one to bring it to him. As for going out to attend to the needs of his house, that is not permissible, as it affects his i'tikaf. He can appoint one of his children, relatives, or neighbors to bring the necessities for his household.
