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

In our Masjid there is only one individual who is ready to spend I\u2019tikaaf on a full time basis. The only problem though is he cannot fast because of a chronic disease. My question is, would it suffice if such a person spends I\u2019tikaaf.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u0628\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u064a\u0645<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Hanafi Jurists, I\u2019tikaaf during the last ten days and nights of Ramadhan is Sunnah Mu\u2019akkadah ala al-Kifaayah <\/em>i.e. if a least one legible person observes the I\u2019tikaaf<\/em> the other residents of the town would be absolved of that <\/em>responsibility and if no one observes the I\u2019tikaaf everyone in the town would be held accountable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, the Jurists have stated that fasting is a condition for the validity of the Sunnah I\u2019tikaaf.<\/em>[1]<\/a> Therefore, if a person cannot fast for whatever reason he cannot observe the Sunnah I\u2019tikaaf. He may however, remain in the Masjid for the last ten days in acts of worship which would earn him enormous amount of rewards, except that his I\u2019tikaaf would be regarded as Nafl, which means that he has no limitations and restrictions with regards to leaving the Masjid.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, if one person in a particular town observes the I\u2019tikaaf everyone else would be absolved of that religious duty. This does not mean that it is obligatory upon the members of every Masjid of that town to appoint someone to observe I\u2019tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadhan. In Trinidad, there are many Masaajid located in one town. Therefore if I\u2019tikaaf is observed in one Masjid of a particular town then everyone in that town would be absolved of this religious duty.<\/em>[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Alaamah Ibn Abideen mentions in his commentary of <\/em>ad<\/em>–Dur al-Mukhtar (<\/em>Chapter of I\u2019tikaaf) that; I\u2019tikaaf in the last ten days of Ramadhan being <\/em>Sunnah Mu\u2019akkadah ala al-Kifaayah is identical to Salah at-Tarawih performed with congregation in the Masjid i.e Mu\u2019akkadah ala al-Kifaayah, which means that if performed by a few the rest would be absolved from the obligation.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What is meant by \u201cthe rest\u201d? Does it imply the rest of the people in all the other Masaajid of that particular country, or the rest of the people in each Masjid or the rest of the people in a particular town? Ibn Abideen states (in chapter of Witr and Nawafil) that; what is evident to him (regarding <\/em>Salah at-Tarawih performed with congregation in the Masjid<\/em>) is the third view i.e. if a some people in one Masjid of a particular town performs it the rest of the town would be absolved. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

NB<\/strong><\/em>: Regarding the Sunnah I\u2019tikaaf, one person would suffice, a Jama’ah (group), is not a condition. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

NB<\/strong><\/em>: Despite the fact that a community may be absolved of such a responsibility, every effort should be made to spend the Sunnah I\u2019tikaaf as it is a great act of worship. Its importance and significance is illustrated by the fact that the Holy Prophet <\/em>\ufdfa<\/em> observed it every Ramadhan until he passed away.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
