What is required of the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) during the last ten days

Question:
This questioner says: He informed us of your situation and asks about it. It is established in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to come to you in the last ten days of Ramadan. So what are the matters that are required of the one in i'tikaf?

Answer:
The one in i'tikaf should not leave his i'tikaf outside the mosque except for what is absolutely necessary for him, such as relieving himself, or bringing food or drink if he has no one to bring it to him.
So this is among what is obligatory for the one in i'tikaf: that he does not leave except for a need that is absolutely necessary for him, or for the Friday prayer. If the mosque in which he is in i'tikaf does not hold the Friday prayer, there is no harm in him going to pray the Friday prayer and returning to his i'tikaf. And it is forbidden for the one in i'tikaf to have intercourse with his wife at night, during the nights of i'tikaf. Allah the Exalted says: This is for the one who is not in i'tikaf. As for the one in i'tikaf, he does not have intercourse during the nights of i'tikaf until he finishes his i'tikaf. The saying of the Exalted: "And do not have intercourse with them while you are in i'tikaf in the mosques." And it is also required for the one in i'tikaf not to occupy his time with gossip and talking with people and visitors, but rather to occupy his time with the obedience of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And if a visitor comes to him, he should greet them, and there is no harm in him spending a little time with him. But he should not spend most of his time with visitors, talking, and gossiping. This diminishes his i'tikaf.
And we should not forget also that i'tikaf and other acts of worship require sincerity to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such that the intention is pure for the face of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), not intending showing off or seeking fame. Yes.
