Re: Thinking of Aitekaaf this year! Adaab?
Peace bao bihari
What I meant was that on the individual Ramadan i’tiqaf of 10 days is nafil, but yes on the community (al kifaya) I believe it is Sunnah Mu’akkadah.
But the i’tiqaf has rules … There are different kinds of it as brother Lethal Kamikaze said, but each kind has the same basic rules … Like the fasting …in Ramadan it is fard, but outside generally speaking it is nafil. If we eat at lunch time during a fast the fast is invalid … Likewise leaving the masjid will break or invalidate the i’tiqaf ..
But now I see what you are saying … As long as your niya is for short stay then you can enter the Halat of i’tiqaf and then break it whenever you wish … :k:
Just like when people eat in masjid by making niya of i’tiqaf to make it permissible to eat there and then they break the i’tiqaf by doing something to invalidate it … Like walking home …
So in ths respect it is possible to do 10 separate nafil i’teqafs …
This is a good site …
