· 7 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person making sunnat itikaaf left the musjid mistakenly, does he have to repeat all 10 days or just one.

Also what should a person do after his itikaaf is broken, should he continue or go home?

Answer

Just qadha of one day needs to be kept. He may go home or remain in the musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
