Question
Dear respected Shaykh, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Is it permissible for a person who is performing ‘itikaf in a mosque during the last days of Ramadan to walk to a nearby mosque to perform Taraweh and Qiyam layl and then return as soon as he finishes these prayers? يخرج من المسجد للصلاة في آخر
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and his companions. Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. As to what follows: In response to your question, we say: That is not permissible because it is contrary to the meaning of i’tikaf which means staying in the mosque . This action is going out of the mosque unnecessarily.
