Question

One person was performing itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. Funeral prayers were being offered in the field around the mosque. He took part in it and returned to the mosque as soon as the prayer was over. Upon learning this, the Imam of the mosque said, his Itikaf has been broken. Is Imam Sahib right? 3365632239

Yes, Imam Sahib is right. His Sunnah Itikaf has been broken because he left the mosque for the funeral prayer in the state of Itikafrat. Hazrat Hisham Ibn Orwah narrated from his father that he said, "The one who performs itikaf will not go to any da'wah, will not go to see anyone who is ill, will not participate in anyone's janaza." So in this case that person has to make up for itikaf for one day including fasting. It is revealed that if a person leaves the mosque for the purpose of fulfilling a natural need (such as ablution) or for the purpose of performing the Jumu'ah prayer, and participates in the janaza on the way, and returns to the mosque without delay after the prayer, his itikaf will not be broken. 8688854993
