Regarding the retreat, it was the practice of the Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, to retreat to the Mosque during the last ten days and nights of
Ramadan, fasten his cloak around his waist and encourage his family to do
the same. His time in the Mosque was spent in worship and not in idle talk.
It is during these last ten nights that the Night of Honor occurs. By the
consensus of many scholars it is most probable that it occurs on an odd night
such as 21ˢᵗ, 23rd, 25ᵗʰ, or the 27ᵗʰ.
If it is ones intention to offer the retreat then there are specific rules to be
observed.
1. Once the intention or vow has been taken to observe these days of
continuous retreat, the continuity of its observance is broken if he leaves the
mosque without a justifiable necessity, such as to attend a funeral.
However, the observance is not broken when one leaves to go to the toilet.
Those in retreat are permitted to renew their ablutions in their own home but
the restatement of the intent must be renewed unless the intention to spend
upon him, to retreat to the Mosque during the last ten days and nights of
Ramadan, fasten his cloak around his waist and encourage his family to do
the same. His time in the Mosque was spent in worship and not in idle talk.
