Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman intends to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) for a number of days, then she begins the i'tikaf but starts menstruating, and then she becomes pure, is it permissible for her to return and count that time as part of the i'tikaf?
Answer:
If she menstruated during the i'tikaf, she must leave the mosque. When she becomes pure and wishes to return, she returns to the mosque, especially if she had vowed a specific duration and menstruation overtook her before she completed it. In that case, when her menstruation ends, she returns and completes the duration. Yes.
