Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person vows i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), then the i'tikaf becomes obligatory. If he is an employee, is it permissible for him to go to his job while he is in i'tikaf?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible?
The questioner:
That he goes to his job.
The Shaykh:
If he made an exception and stipulated that he would go out, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he did not stipulate it, no, he may not go out. Yes.
