How can the intention of I'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan be reconciled with caring for one's wife and daughter, taking into account the wife's family's preoccupation with Eid preparations, which might affect her acts of worship?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the wife feels lonely or it is not safe for her to stay alone, then it is better for her to go to her family's house, while advising her to seize the opportunity of the last ten nights [of Ramadan] for worship and to do household chores during the day. However, if her staying alone is safe and she does not feel lonely, then she should be left in her home to strive in worship, and she must be consulted to know what suits her.
