كتاب الاعتكافBook: On the Explanation of I'tikaf (Spiritual Retreat)
بَابُ ذِكْرِ الِاعْتِكَافِChapter on mention of i‘tikaf (spiritual retreat)
Hadith 645B1
قَالَ مَالِك: لَا يَأْتِي الْمُعْتَكِفُ حَاجَتَهُ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ لَهَا ، وَلَا يُعِينُ أَحَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَخْرُجَ لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ ، وَلَوْ كَانَ خَارِجًا لِحَاجَةِ أَحَدٍ لَكَانَ أَحَقَّ مَا يُخْرَجُ إِلَيْهِ عِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ ، وَالصَّلَاةُ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ وَاتِّبَاعُهَا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Whoever performs i'tikaf should not go out for any work, nor go anywhere, nor help anyone, except for a necessary need. And if it were permissible for the person in i'tikaf to go out for any work, then it would have been permissible for him to go out to visit the sick, or for the funeral prayer, or for burial.
