بَابُ ذِكْرِ الِاعْتِكَافِChapter on mention of i‘tikaf (spiritual retreat)
Hadith 646
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يَعْتَكِفُ هَلْ يَدْخُلُ لِحَاجَتِهِ تَحْتَ سَقْفٍ ؟ فَقَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ "
It is narrated from Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that he asked Ibn Shihab whether it is permissible for a person observing i'tikaf to go into a plastered house for a necessary need. He replied: Yes, it is permissible, there is no harm in it.
