The ruling on leaving the mosque to break the fast during i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says that his house is close to the mosque in which he wants to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque). He asks: Is it better for me to go at the time of breaking the fast and break it at home, taking a bath when necessary, or is it better for my food to be brought to me in the nearby mosque?
Answer:
It is the latter that is better. It is better for you to remain in your place and break your fast in the mosque, and not go to the house; because this is not necessary. They said that one does not leave except for a dire necessity, such as relieving oneself and performing wudu' (the ablution for prayer). As for breaking the fast at home, it is not a dire necessity. Break your fast in the mosque, and this is better for you; because breaking the fast is an act of worship, and doing so in the mosque is better. Yes.
