Specifying
a particular day for i'tikaaf
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is it permissible for one who wishes to perform the i'tikaaf
to specify a particular day itself for i'tikaaf?
Response:
It is not for him to specify a particular day itself within
which to regularly perform i'tikaaf,
rather, he should take care to perform i'tikaaf
in the last ten (days and nights) of Ramadhaan in accordance
with (the guidance of) the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam).
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.
