Ruling on i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) during the nights only until the dawn breaks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q575: The questioner asks: Is it permissible to intend i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) at night until the Fajr (dawn) prayer, then come before the Maghrib (sunset) prayer and renew the intention of i'tikaf until the dawn, and so on?
A575: It is permissible to vow i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) for nights only, ten nights, or twenty nights; this is permissible, as in the hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). The night begins with the setting of the sun and ends with the breaking of the dawn.
