Question:
He says: What is the ruling on using the phone for the necessity of booking travel? Is it permissible for the one in i'tikaf?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with the one in i'tikaf speaking on the mobile phone for his need, such as booking travel or something else. There is no harm in that, because this does not cause him to lose much time, and he is in need of it. So there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills. Yes.
