The ruling on obeying the husband in leaving i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, this woman says: If she is in i'tikaf and her husband orders her to leave her place of i'tikaf, is she required to obey him, especially since he is the one who gave her permission?
Answer:
If he gave her permission and she has vowed to perform i'tikaf—if she has vowed to perform i'tikaf—then it becomes obligatory. Yes. So if he gave her permission, he is required to let her remain until she completes it, because it became obligatory upon her by his permission, since the i'tikaf became obligatory upon her by the vow made with his permission. Therefore, he is required to fulfill that. Yes.
