Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are there conditions for making a condition in i'tikaf?
Answer:
The conditions are that the i'tikaf must be with intention, for there is no i'tikaf without intention, because it is an act of worship, and worship is not valid without intention. So if you sit in the mosque to cool off, or to seek shade, or to sleep and rest, that is not i'tikaf, because you did not intend the worship; you intended comfort. Therefore, intention is a requirement. And among its conditions is that you do not leave except for what is necessary for you, as mentioned previously. Yes.
