Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the one observing i'tikaf stipulates that he sleeps in his house at night only, is this stipulation valid?
Answer:
It is valid, but his i'tikaf is deficient for the night; he does not get the reward for it, and his i'tikaf is deficient by that amount.
