Making up the spiritual retreat (i'tikaf) in Shawwal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Four, four? Lying about what? Making up the spiritual retreat (i'tikaf) in Shawwal.

The Shaykh:
If the custom is to leave it in Ramadan and he makes it up in Sha'ban, in Shawwal, or in another month, that is fine. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
