Qadha For Breaking The Sunnat Itikaaf

· 19 Ramadan 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a person observing the Sunnat-e-Mukkada Itikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadaan had to nullify his Itikaaf after three days. Is Qadha required?

Answer

It will be best to make Qadha of the complete ten days Itikaaf after the month of Ramadaan which should be accompanied with the ten fasts.

However, this command is not obligatory. A person may suffice by making Qadha of the day the Itikaaf was nullified.
