Itikaaf
Perform i’tikaaf in the last ten days of Ramadhaan(time must be spend in total devotion) .
The ESSENTIAL I’tikaaf can be at least for one day and more for as many days as resolved.
The SUNNAH (MU’AKK’ADAH) I’tikaaf is for ten days i.e. the last ten days of Ramadhaan. The MUSTAHAB (Appreciable) I’tikaaf there is no time limit. It may be for one minute or even less(while enterning masjid make the niyyat for itikaaf of masjid)
All the time should be devoted in recitation of Holy Qur’aan or teaching and learning religious knowledge or should remain engaged in other religious prayers.
KAFFAARAH (RECOMPENSATION OF FAST) —The compensation (Kaffaarah) of breaking a fast of Ramadhaan is to fast continuously for two months-keeping in instalments is not proper.If anyone is weak and does not possess the strength to keep sixty fasts at a stretch, then he should feed sixty poor persons morning and evening to their full satisfaction i.e. as much as they can eat.Instead of feeding it is also permissible to give grain to the poor but its quantity for each person should be equal to Sadqa-e-Fitr will be described with description of Zakaat.It is also permissible to give the price of so much of grain. Fidiyah (recompensation) equal to Sadqa-e-Fitr to the poor or feed sufficiently in the morning and evening. This is called Fidiyah in Shari’ah.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
