Superstitions and Bad Omens
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ وَ الصَّلٰوۃُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلٰی سَیِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ط
اَمَّا بَعْدُ فَاَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِیْمِ ط بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّ حِیْم ط
اَلصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَیْكَ یَا رَسُولَ اللہ وَعَلٰی اٰلِكَ وَ اَصْحٰبِكَ یَا حَبِیْبَ اللہ
اَلصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَیْكَ یَا نَبِیَّ اللہ وَعَلٰی اٰلِكَ وَ اَصْحٰبِكَ یَا نُوْرَ اللہ
نَوَيۡتُ سُنَّتَ الۡاِعۡتِكَافِ
Translation: “I have made the intention of Sunnah i’tikaf.”
Dear Islamic brothers, whenever you enter a masjid, upon remembering, make the intention of i’tikaf, because as long as you stay in the masjid, you will keep getting the reward of i’tikaf. Remember, inside a masjid, there is no shar’i permission to eat and drink, sleep or have suhoor and iftar, and not even to drink Zamzam water and the water on which dam has been made. However, if the intention of i’tikaf is made, all these acts will become permissible. One should not make intention to observe i’tikaf only to eat, drink or sleep, but rather he should do it for pleasing Allah Almighty.
It is stated in Fatawa Shaami: “If someone wants to eat, drink or sleep in a masjid, he should make intention to observe i’tikaf and do dhikr of Allah Almighty for some time. Then, whatever he wants, he can do (i.e. now if he wants to eat, drink or sleep, he can do so).”
