Is it permissible for the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to stipulate that he will go out to fulfill the needs of his parents?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who stipulated in his i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) to go out with his mother and his brothers to fulfill their needs after the Fajr (dawn) prayer, especially since there is no one else in the house?

Answer : I see that this person who is in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) and wants to go out to fulfill the needs of his mother and his brothers should gather all the needs together, so that he fulfills their needs before he begins his i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque). For example, on the twentieth day, he buys all his needs, such as meat, vegetables, and other things. And praise be to Allah, the matter is broad in this time; he can put this meat and vegetables in a refrigerator or freezer, which is enough for them for ten days, and in that case, they do not need to go out.
