Summary
An extension connected to an existing mosque and intended as a mosque for prayer and i'tikaf is regarded as a mosque. It is recommended to perform i'tikaf there, and menstruating women are forbidden to stay in it. Toilets, bathrooms and other impure areas are excepted. Following the Shafi'i school, the flat roof, the airspace and windows attached to the mosque are also part of the mosque, and i'tikaf there is valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu apa-apa binaan yang disambung dengan masjid asal khususnya untuk kegunaan sembahyang adalah dikira sebagai masjid kecuali bahagian tandas, bilik air dan tempat-tempat najis yang lain
