Question
A family member passes away while one is in I'tikaaf. What should he do?
Answer
The Mu'takif (the one in I'tikaaf) should make dua for his relative who passed away. There is no need for him to break his I'tkaaf merely to participate in the Janaazah Salaat and to accompany the Janaazah. However, if there is a pressing need for his presence, and he attends, then he has to make Qadha of one day.
