2473. It was reported from 'Aīshah, that she said: “The Sunnah is not to visit a sick person while observing I'tikāf, not to attend the funeral, not to touch or embrace a woman, not to exit for a need, except out of necessity, and there is no I'tikāf without fasting, and no I'tikāf except in a Jāmi' Masjid.” (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: It was not said that she said: “The Sunnah” by other than 'Abdūr-Raḥmān bin Ishāq (a narrator). Abū Dāwūd said: He stated it as a statement of 'Aīshah.
