Condition of I’tikaaf for One who Left the Masjid to Wash his Hands

Q: If a person sitting in sunnah i’tikaaf left the masjid to wash his hands at meal times, will his i’tikaaf break?

Condition of I'tikaaf for One who Left the Masjid to Wash his Hands

A: His i’tikaaf will break. Alternate arrangements should be made for washing the hands in the masjid.

( وحرم عليه ) أي على المعتكف اعتكافا واجبا أما النفل فله الخروج لأنه منه له لا مبطل كما مر ( الخروج إلا لحاجة الإنسان ) طبيعية كبول وغائط وغسل لو احتلم ولا يمكنه الاغتسال في المسجد كذا في النهر (الدر المختار مع رد المحتار 2/444-445, الفتاوى الهندية 1/212)

( فلو خرج ) ولو ناسيا ( ساعة ) زمانية لا رملية كما مر ( بلا عذر فسد ) (الدر المختار مع رد المحتار 2/447,الفتاوى الهندية 1/212)
