‘Itikaf

Question:

I was instructed to do 10 days ‘itikaf in 2007.. Now could I ask to do the 40 days ‘itikaf at my home this coming Month of Rajab. I learn that if one does not complete the 40 days ‘itikaf in dunya, it will have to do it after death. And I prefer to it in dunya, because in the grave it is very harsh. And think my time is approaching near. Please ask Mawlana about this. Thank you for the response.

Answer:

No, you should do i`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. This is a general permission from Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, until permission comes for 40 days. Keep reminding us every year before Rajab by one month.

Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
