Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. An employee who wants to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) during all of the last ten days of Ramadan: is it permissible for him to go out to work during the day, then return to his place of i'tikaf before 'Asr until the next day, and so on every day?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. He gets the reward for the amount of time he spent in i'tikaf. I'tikaf can be done in the evening, just as it can be done during the day, or in the morning only. Yes.
