Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you: Which is better, i'tikaf or 'Umrah in Ramadan?
The Shaykh : A person can perform both.
The questioner : If he cannot combine them, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : If he cannot combine them, he can, for example, go to Makkah for a day and a night before the last ten days enter, because i'tikaf is only in the last ten days. Then he returns and performs i'tikaf in his country, and this is easy.
The questioner : Your Eminence, I seek your ruling on a matter outside this topic, which is the matter of divorce.
The Shaykh : The divorce is [to be discussed] at 'Asr, if Allah wills. Pray 'Asr with me, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, O Shaykh, for the question.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
