Question:
This person is asking about the one in i'tikaf on the second floor of the Haram; is he allowed to go down to the ground floor to attend a lesson?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. The mosque is one, praise be to Allah. As long as he is inside the mosque, he may move from one place to another within it in order to attend a lesson or listen to something beneficial. So, there is nothing wrong with it.
