The Intention of I'tikaf When Entering the Mosque After the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when they enter the mosque after the adhan, intend to perform i'tikaf between the adhan and the iqamah. Is that permissible for them?
Answer:
By Allah, this matter has not been reported, meaning, to my knowledge, it has not been reported that they would intend i'tikaf when entering for prayer. Although the jurists have mentioned this, as in Sharh al-Zad and Sharh al-Muntaha, where they say one should intend i'tikaf when entering the mosque, we do not see any evidence for this. Yes.
