I’tikaaf in a room inside the mosque
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Is the doorkeeper’s room or the Zakaah committee room inside the mosque considered suitable for i'tikaaf? Please note that the doors of these rooms are inside the mosque.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Rooms which are inside the mosque and whose doors open into the mosque come under the same ruling as the mosque. Based on that, it is permissible to observe i'tikaaf in them because they are part of the mosque.
But if they are outside the mosque, then i’tikaaf observed in them is not valid, even if the room has a door leading into the mosque.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
