Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q589: The questioner asks: What is the ruling if a person performs i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) in a room located within the mosque? Is he considered to be in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) inside the mosque?
A589: If its door is outside the mosque, then it is not part of the mosque. Even if it is within the mosque's compound, if its door and entrance are outside the mosque and it has no entrance into the mosque, then it is not part of the mosque.
