Itikaf FAQs (11/50)
Question
A mu’takifs house is a few steps away from the masjid. Can he do sehri, iftar and answer the call of nature at home?
Answer
In all conditions one will answer the call of nature outside the masjid. And so will be the faradh ghusal. sehri and iftar is permitted in the masjid, hence it won’t be permissible for one to leave the masjid. If no one can bring food for the mu’takif, then he will be permitted to go and collect the food from home. If one is habituated with answering the call of nature at home, then he may do so. (268)
