Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it valid for the one in i'tikaf to go to the bank or to the money changer to exchange money?

Answer:
Yes, if he needs money, he goes and exchanges it. The one in i'tikaf leaves for his need that he cannot do without. So if he must leave to exchange money, he leaves to the extent of the need and returns.
