Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And let us now return to what we should discuss, in accordance with the time available, if there is any time.
The student: Ten minutes.
The Shaykh : Very well, there is nothing wrong with that. We will speak about a matter concerning i'tikaf. Many young people, especially in these days, are performing i'tikaf in al-Masjid al-Haram, but unfortunately, some of those performing i'tikaf want to shape i'tikaf according to their own desires, not according to what the Sunnah has brought.
