Kitabus Saum [Book of Fasting] - I'tikaf

Question 507) - What is the definition and status of I'tikaf?

A: It is to stay in the Masjid with an intention. It is Sunnah Muakkadah upon Kifayah during the last days of Ramadan. lf a single man of the area sits for I'tikaf then the obligation is lifted from the community, if not, then they are all guilty of abandoning that sunnah.
