Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for the person in i'tikaf to visit the sick and attend the funeral prayer, given that some scholars said: It is not permissible unless he stipulates it, and that is before the i'tikaf?
Answer:
If the sick person is in the mosque, there is no harm, or if the funeral prayer is in the mosque, otherwise he does not go. The sunnah is that he does not go. The sunnah for the person in i'tikaf is that he does not visit a sick person, nor does he attend the funeral prayer, except if it is in his mosque.
