Explaining the difference between a vow of i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) and other types of vows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q573: The questioner asks: What is the difference between a vow of i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) and other types of vows? In other words, if one vows to perform i'tikaf in the Prophet's Mosque, is it permissible for him to perform it in the Sacred Precinct? Does this analogy apply if one vows to fast a day in the month of Sha'ban, can he fast a day in the month of Dhul-Hijjah in its place?
A573: It is not permissible. If you vow to fast a day in Sha'ban, it is not permissible for you to fast a day in another month in its place; because you specified the day, so it is not permissible for you to leave the day you specified and fast in another month.
