Question
Is it permissible for men to leave their womenfolk in charge of their shops while they (the men) spend the time in I'tikaaf?
Answer
Men who leave their womenfolk to run their business whilst they are in I'tikaaf, are evil. Their time in I'tikaaf is recorded as sin. They are of the dayyooth kind who shamelessly expose their wives and daughters to zina. Shaitaan has adorned for them their mock i'tikaaf while he ensnares the women into his trap of zina. These men are under the influence of Iblees.
