The Rules of I'tikaf in the Congregational Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What are the rules of i'tikaf in the congregational mosques?
Answer:
I'tikaf is seclusion in a confined place, whether it is a room, a mat, or a curtain that is set up, so that one is alone in it, alone by himself, devoting himself to worship and reciting the Qur'an, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. I'tikaf is not that people gather in the mosque, chatting and sleeping, calling this collective i'tikaf. This is not i'tikaf. I'tikaf is that you isolate yourself in an empty place, devote yourself to worship, and do not leave except for the obligatory prayer. Yes.
