I’tikaaf in Musjidun Nabawi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My question is regarding this year ramadaan. I intend on spending the sunnah ithikaaf in musjid un nabawi (17th-27th July – According to the saudi calendar). I would like to know if my ithikaaf would be valid if I leave on the eve of eid from Madinah and arrive in South Africa on the 28th, just to find that South Africa would be fasting on the 28th and celebrating eid on the 29th.What should I do in this regard? From calculations, its seems that the above scenario is most likely to occur?

A: Your Sunnah i’itikaaf will be valid if you leave the Musjid after the moon of shawwaal is sighted.

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