    QUESTION:

    What do respected scholars say about the following issues:

    What happens if a mu’takif enters the fina-e-Masjid? What is the definition of a fina-e-Masjid? Are the Masjid yard, wall, side rooms, funeral/Eid halls, madrasas part of the fina-e-Masjid? Can a mu’takif have a bath and use shampoo and soap? Please provide references for the answers and gain reward.

    ANSWER:

    I’tikaf does not break (by entering the fina-e-Masjid).

    A fina-e-Masjid is any area outside a Masjid but attached to it and is used for it’s necessities, such as a shoe area, bath etc. entering these areas does not break i’tikaf because a fina-e-Masjid is the same as a Masjid in this issue. [Fatawa Amjadiyyah Chapter 1 Page 399]

    The Masjid yard and wall are the same as a Masjid in some aspects; a mu’takif can enter them unnecessarily. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 16 Page 490]

    Masjid side rooms are also the fina-e-Masjid and a fina-e-Masjid is the same as a Masjid. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 8 Page 95]

    Funeral/Eid halls which are attached to a masjid are also the fina-e-Masjid and therefore a mu’takif can enter them. [Radd ul Muhtar Chapter 2 Page 430]

    A Madrasah which is within the boundaries of a Masjid without a path separating the two, just a wall to distinguish them, is part of the Masjid and therefore a mu’takif is allowed to enter it. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 3 Page 473]

    A mu’takif can enter the fina-e-Masjid to have a bath even if it isn’t compulsory; he is also allowed to use shampoo and soap. [Bahaar e Shariat and others]

    A mu’takif can enter the fina-e-Masjid in order to announce Sahari. [Fatawa Amjadiyyah Chapter 1 Page 399]

    Fina-e-Masjid = هو المكان المتصل به ليس بينه طريق فهو كالمتخذ مصلاة الجنازة او عيد

    [Radd ul Muhtar Chapter 2 Page 430]

    If there is a shop next to a Masjid and the shops income belongs to the Masjid then a mu’takif can walk on the shop roof.

    لأنها كانت من فناء المسجد و لا طريق فاصل بينهما فكيف و قد صارت من المسجد

    (The shop roof is 6 fingers lower than the Masjid floor)

    [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 16 Page 438]

    A Masjid wall in some aspects is the same as a Masjid; a mu’takif is allowed to enter it unnecessarily. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 16 Page 490]

    A Masjid wall is neither the fina-e-Masjid or the actual Masjid. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 8 Page 73]

    A mu’takif is allowed to walk around and sit in the Masjid yard. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 8 Page 60]

    Any shops on the Masjid gate are the fina-e-Masjid because they are attached to it.

    فتاوي امام قاضي خان فتاوي عالمغيريه مين هي يصح الإقتداء لمن قام علي الدكاكين التي تكون علي باب المسجد متصلة بالمسجد

    A fina-e-Masjid is an area attached to a Masjid. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 8 Page 66]

    A Masjid room is the fina-e-Masjid and is the same as a Masjid.

    الفناء تبع المسجد فيكون حكمه حكم المسجد كذا في محيط السر خسي

    [Fatawa Ridawiyyah Chapter 8 Page 90]

    Allah Ta’aala is most Knowing.
