The i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) of one in the Haram going to his house every night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for one who is in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) in the Makkah Haram to go to his house in al-'Aziziyah every night to have dinner, change his clothes, and take a bath, and then return to the Haram, doing this every night or every two nights?

Answer:
This diminishes his i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque). If he wants the reward and the completeness of the reward, his eating and drinking should be in the place of i'tikaf, and it should be brought to him.
