Is it permissible for the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to leave out of necessity?

Question:
He says that he intended to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) during these ten days, so is it permissible for me to leave the Sacred Mosque for the sake of iftar (breaking the fast), especially since the hotel is far away?

Answer:
Breaking the fast is easy; you can take some dates with you and eat them when the adhan (the call to prayer) is called, and drink from Zamzam. Only 'Isha' (the night prayer) remains; there is no harm in going out to eat dinner and returning. If no one brings you dinner at your location, there is no harm in going out to the extent of the need to eat and return. As for iftar (breaking the fast), it does not require going out. The last ten days begin on the night of the twenty-first. The last ten days begin on the night of the twenty-first. When the sun sets on the night of the twenty-first, the last ten days begin.
