Is it a condition for i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) that it be in a mosque where the Friday prayer is held?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Is it a condition that it be in a congregational mosque?

Answer : Meaning, if he misses the Friday prayer, it is not a condition. Because if he is in i'tikaf when Friday arrives and he has not yet broken his fast, if Friday comes and he has not yet broken his fast, he may go and pray the Friday prayer.
