~~How?~~ Where?~~Women?-------> ^Itikāf

Excellent praise and gratitude are due to Allaah Subhanahu Ta^ala, the one who is in neither a state of movement nor immobility nor is He a tangible or intangible entity, the one who has no colour or direction and is free from all imperfection, the one who is not confined and who cannot be conceived with the mind, the one who is not bound to time and does not descend or cline, the one who is attributed with life unlike our life and who has neither son nor wife, the one who is neither a body nor figure and He is not equal in volume to the throne nor smaller nor bigger, the one who existed eternally and alone when there was neither water nor throne, the one who has created the throne as a sign of His absolute power and He is not inclined towards upper or lower, the one who has created volume and space, the one who exists without manner or place, the one who has created morning and night, who is free from being similar to darkness and light,  the one whose reality  (dhatullaah) does not resemble anything, nor does anything resemble Him, He does not need anything and everything is in need of Him, the one who guided us to this for we would never had been guided to it  if He never had not guided us to it

We start in the name of Allāh and we ask Allāh to raise the rank of our dear Prophet MuHammad sallalahu ^alayhi wassalam, and to protect his nation from that which he feared for it

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim

Insha'Allah i will type what i have recieved from the hanafii text, a Commentary, al Lubaab by al Ghanemiyy-who explains a book called alkitāb written by al Qaddooriyy


This is from the hanafii school texts so if there is differences from the shafiyy or any other school please feel free to add it :-)

Shaykh al Qaddooriyy says ^itikāf is mustahabb ((liked/recommended)) and it is to stay in mosque while fasting with the intention of ^itikāf ((retreat)). (Shaykh al Ghanemiyy: In al Hidayah it is said what is sahih/correct is that it is sunnah muakkadah for the Prophet sallalahu ^alayhi wassalam persistently practised it during the last ten days of RamaDan and persistence is evidence for the degree of sunnah. Staying is a rukn of ^itikāf, except for ladies, because this is where it is done. Fasting is a sharT > pre-requisite > for a duty to be valid. ((some ^itikāf is a duty i.e if you have made a vow to do it, some is recommended)). There is a riwayah from Abu Hanifa that it is also a sharT for nafl ^itikāf i.e recommended ^itikāf.

Making the intention is a sharT in all acts of worship and what is meant by masjid/mosque is a mosque in which congregations are held and they have an imām and a mu'azhin and all five prayers are read in it. But there is also an opinion that it is valid in any mosque- at-tahawiyy for example favoured that.

And the woman does ^itikāf in the majid of her house, which is what she uses specifically for her prayers)

Shaykh al Qaddooriyy says and it is harām for the mu^takif to have sexual intercourse ....
(Shaykh al Ghanemiyy says because Allāh mentioned it in ayah 187 of Surah al Baqarah whose meaning is "And do not have intercourse with them while you are in retreat in mosque")
.... and touching and kissing (Shaykh al Ghanemiyy: because these call to it ((referring to sexual intercourse)) )

Shaykh al Qaddooriyy says and he does not go out of the mosque except for human needs (Shaykh al Ghanemiyy adds natural ones such as urinating, emptying ones bowls, purifying an impurity-najasah or because of a necessity such as the mosque crumbling down or if his family is torn apart or when an unjust person must be taken out by force or because of a fear for himself or his luggage ((what belongs to him))  or for jumah and there is no harm in him selling or buying in the mosque without the item being present. Shaykh al Ghanemiyy says it is makruh to bring the merchandise inside the mosque whether you are a mu^takif or not )
