Waajib & Sunnah I'tikaaf

Q: Please explain how will one need to make qadha of his sunnah itikaaf.

Q:

1. If a person in i'tikaaf leaves the masjid to go to the toilet, and at the same time has a shower, will his i'tikaaf break?

2. What if he has a long shower, will this matter?

3. If he goes to the shop to buy something after going to the toilet, would this break his i'tikaaf?

Q: May the sunnah i'tikaaf in Ramadhan be held in a facility which accommodates and facilitates the 5 times salaah, including the jumuah salaahs. This is presently a musallah which caters for the residents in the area, over 300 Muslim homes. Consent dues have been granted already for the musallah to continue, alhamdulillah. The nearest masjid is about 4 Kms away which has a limited space for the mu'takifeen. Kindly advise if we could hold the sunnah i'tikaaf for the musallees of the area?

Q: A person is making i'tikaaf in the Musjid. I know it will not be keeping to the spirit of i'tikaaf for him to play with his cellphone in the Musjid or make unnecessary calls. However, will it be permissible for him to use the cellphone for some important need?

Q: Can a person come out of the musjid to perform a sunnah wudhu while in sunnah I'tikaaf?

Q: A person who is submitted to dialisis 2 to 3 times a week can not fast. Can he still sit in the sunnah i'tikaaf? Keep in mind that he will also have to leave the masjid when going to the hospital. He could go straight to the hospital and return on the shortest route possible.

Q: My question is regarding this year ramadaan. I intend on spending the sunnah ithikaaf in musjid un nabawi (17th-27th July - According to the saudi calendar). I would like to know if my ithikaaf would be valid if I leave on the eve of eid from Madinah and arrive in South Africa on the 28th, just to find that South Africa would be fasting on the 28th and celebrating eid on the 29th.What should I do in this regard? From calculations, its seems that the above scenario is most likely to occur?

Q: When one is sitting in itikaaf can one go for ghusal to cool of or the Friday sunnah gusl? If yes for Sunnah gusl than what if the gusl khana is not near the wudu khana; its upstairs. Can one go for ghsal upstairs?

Q: Here in Bokaap (Cape Town) in an area of about 2km there are 11 masaajid. So now will it suffice if someone sits for sunnat itikaaf in one of the 11 masajid, or is it necessary for someone to sit in each of the 11 masaajids?

Q: I have a question about i'tikaf. If we start itikaf on the night of the 21st there is a risk that we only complete nine nights (if Ramadan turns out to be 29 days). Will the sunnah still be fulfilled in this case? Or should we start the itikaf at the night of the 20th in order to make sure that we do at least 10 nights?
