Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) In our Masjid, there is also a separate room for kitchen, can a Mu\u00b4takif go in the kitchen to make himself something to eat or to take stuff from the fridge ?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) The showers of the Masjid are in the same room of the wudhu khaana, can the mu\u00b4takif make sunnah ghusl there, or only fardh ghusl?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) In the Masjid, there is a small room on the side in which all the mic-system etc. is, can the Mu\u00b4takif enter this room, especially if the Imam is doing i\u00b4tikaaf and needs to on the mic. etc. ?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Can someone due to work or other reasons just do as much days of i\u00b4tikaaf he can do, even if its not 10 days?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Does every day of I\u00b4tikaf count separately and thus he has to make Niyyah for every day again or will he make niyyah once for all the 10 days ?<\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0In your statement there is a separate room for the kitchen in the Masjid,\u00a0 a Mu\u00b4takif can go into the kitchen to make himself something to eat or to take stuff from the fridge as long as it is within the Masjid<\/strong>. He should not go out of the\u00a0 Masjid. (i)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) The showers of the Masjid are in the same room as the wudhu khaana,\u00a0 the mu\u00b4takif can make Fardh ghusl.\u00a0\u00a0 (ii)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) )\u00a0 There is a small room in the Masjid on the side in which all the\u00a0 mic-systems etc.\u00a0 the Mu\u00b4takif\u00a0 can enter this room, especially if the Imam is doing i\u00b4tikaf, He can make the mic system ready for usage purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0 Someone due to work or other reasons just do as many days of i\u00b4tikaf as he can do, even if it is not 10 days.\u00a0 This will be the Nafl I\u2019tikaf.\u00a0 (iv)<\/span><\/p>\n
