Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I work in an institution during Ramadan in the afternoon shift. They allow me to pray the tarawih (the Ramadan night prayer). Is it permissible for me to request leave and perform i'tikaf in the last ten days, if doing so would harm my work because there is no one to take over my duties?
Answer:
If they allow you to do so without it contradicting [the rules], if they allow you, the right is theirs, there is nothing wrong with it, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
