Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) when he becomes ritually impure to leave the mosque and perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer), or is it permissible for him to stay?
Answer:
Staying does not contradict the ruling. He stays in the mosque even if he is not in a state of wudu' (the ablution for prayer). However, if he wants to pray, it is obligatory for him to perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) and leave the mosque.
