From the Publisher’s Foreword:
“We are extremely grateful for this blessed opportunity to publish this esteemed book in the English language. The subject of ‘I’tikaf’ is not much talked about in the English-speaking world; hence, we have deemed it beneficial to provide a book that discusses the matters related to it, its virtues, rulings, and issues. To further increase the benefits, a separate section has been added at the end, including fatāwā relevant to our current day and time.”
