I'tikaf in a mosque where the five daily prayers are not performed

Question:
He says: The time is almost up. There are about nine minutes left. Okay. He says: I am the mu'adhdhin (the one who calls to prayer) in one of the mosques attached to the market. This mosque does not hold the Fajr prayer or the Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer. And usually in Ramadan, I spend most of my time inside the mosque. So, if I intend to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), will I be credited with its reward? I should mention that I serve the fasting people and do not leave except for that purpose.

Answer:
No, this is not i'tikaf. A mosque where the five daily prayers are not performed is not a place for i'tikaf. I'tikaf is performed in a mosque where the five daily prayers are held. As for Jumu'ah, there is no harm in going out for it because it does not repeat. Yes. And if one performs i'tikaf in a mosque where the five daily prayers and Jumu'ah are held, that is better. Yes.
