The time for the mu'takif to enter the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
When, after the Fajr prayer, or not?

The Shaykh:
The mu'takif enters after the Fajr prayer. May Allah forgive him. As for secluding oneself at night and being alone with one's Lord at night, if this is not done by the mu'takif, one night does not suffice for the twenty days, yes. But if he delays entering until, for example, as A'ishah measured, no, that is fine.

The presenter:
If he conditions, regarding accompanying the funeral before entering i'tikaf, is it possible for him to leave?

The Shaykh:
The apparent Sunnah is that he does not leave except for a need that is unavoidable, such as relieving himself and the like. And conditioning on things that contradict what zakah requires, does he leave them or not?

The presenter:
Professor Hasanah.

The Shaykh:
But it is a voluntary prayer; if he wants to leave, it is voluntary. We say it is voluntary.
