Question:

 

I have to do a qadah for i’tikaf as I had an emergency appointment that I had to come out for last year.

 

Just have a question regarding it

 

To do an i’tikaf qadah one has to be in roza ka haalat and you have to stay in the room from maghrib-maghrib (1 day)-can the i’tikaf qadah be done in Ramadan?

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

I’tikaaf can be divided into three types: wajib, the one resulting from an oath or a condition that has been fulfilled, sunnah, the one performed in the last 10 days of Ramadan, nafl, the one performed for a short duration and the fasting is not stipulated for this type of fast.1

 

Based on your question, I am assuming it is during Ramadan, as this is sunnah, you will only perform the qadha of that day2, it is not necessary for this to be during Ramadan, however, one will need to fast on that day.3

 

In relation to the question, yes the qadha i’tikaf can be done in the month of Ramadhan. 

 

 

Only Allah (عز و جل) knows best.

نفل اعتکاف کی قضا واجب نہیں ، اس لیے کہ وہ مسجد سے نکلنے سے ٹوٹتا نہیں بلکہ ختم ہو جاتا ہے ۔ واجب اعتکاف ٹوٹ جائے خواہ نذر معین ہو یا غیرمعین تو سب ایام کی قضا ء واجب ہے اور اگر سنت اعتکا ف ٹوٹ جائے تو صرف اسی دن کی قضا واجب ہے جس میں اعتکاف ٹوٹا ۔ فاسد ہونے کی صورت میں اعتکاف نفلی ہو جائے گا ایک دن کی قضا لازم ہے چاہے رمضان ہی میں کرے یا رمضان کے بعد نفلی روزہ کے ساتھ کرے

لَوْ شَرَعَ فِي الْمَسْنُونِ أَعْنِي الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ بِنِيَّتِهِ ثُمَّ أَفْسَدَهُ أَنْ يَجِبَ قَضَاؤُهُ

وَغَايَةُ مَا يُصَحَّحُ بِأَنْ يُرَادَ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا فَسَدَ وَجَبَ قَضَاؤُهُ فَيَجِبُ لِذَلِكَ اسْتِئْنَافُ صَوْمٍ آخَرَ ضَرُورَةَ اشْتِرَاطِ الصَّوْمِ لَهُ
