Leaving the place of i'tikaf to pray the night prayer in another mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to leave the place of i'tikaf to pray the night prayer in another mosque?
Answer:
One leaves the place of i'tikaf only for the Friday prayer. If the mosque does not hold the Friday prayer, one goes out for the Friday prayer. But if one prays with another imam, no; that means the i'tikaf is lost. There is no distinction between one mosque and another; they are all prayer, and praise be to Allah. All the imams are imams of good faith and creed. Yes, one does not leave it, because it would cause the i'tikaf to be lost without a valid purpose. Yes.
