Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue of the two [days] is how the hadith is directed, but it was clarified from three hadiths and the explanation he gave regarding ihsan (excellence in worship).
Answer:
I do not know the status of this hadith. If it is authentic, the meaning is that there is no complete i'tikaf, and it is not intended to negate i'tikaf in other [periods]. Rather, the negation is directed at the superiority and perfection. If this hadith is authentic, I do not know anything about it, but people dig up things that they confuse for the people. Yes.
