Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
If I were to perform i’tikaf in a small masjid but that mosque do not have Friday prayers as it the Friday prayers are performed in a bigger nearby masjid, can I leave doing my i’tikaf to perfomr my Friday prayers at the nearby masjid?
Answer:
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,
In such a case, you would need to go to the Friday mosque for the Friday prayers, and then return immediately to the place where you are performing your i`tikaf (spiritual retreat). [Maydani, Lubab]
