Performing
i'tikaaf in adjacent rooms within the masjid
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is the caretaker's room or the room in which the Zakaah
Committee meet in the masjid acceptable as a place to do i'tikaaf,
keeping in mind that the doors to these (two) rooms are within
the masjid?
Response:
The rooms and the doors leading to them which are within the
masjid
are regarded as (within) the masjid.
However, if the rooms were outside the masjid
despite their doors being in the masjid,
then they (the rooms) are not regarded as within the masjid.
And
with Allaah lies all success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
