The Shariah Ruling on Observing Aitekaf on the Second Floor of a Masjid

What do the honorable Muftis say regarding this matter: Our masjid is two-storied. In the last ten days of Ramadan, people perform Aitekaf. Due to certain reasons, it has been decided that all the Mo‘takifin (those observing Aitekaf) should perform their Aitekaf on the second floor of the masjid. There are two ways to access the second floor, and both passages are from inside the masjid.
Now the question is: If all the Mo‘takifin stay in the second floor for Aitekaf, and there are no Mo‘takifin in the main hall (first floor) of the masjid, is this permissible?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Just as performing Aitekaf on the first floor of the masjid is valid and correct, likewise, performing Aitekaf on the second floor will also be valid, provided that the passage leading to the upper floor is from within the Sharʿi masjid. Therefore, in the situation mentioned, there is no objection to performing Aitekaf on the second floor.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

ففي الفتاوى التاتارخانية: قال محمد رحمه الله تعالى : يكره المجامعة والبول فوق المسجد، وبذا لما عرف أن حكم المسجد ثابت في الهواء والعرصة جميعاً ، ولهذا أن من قام على سطح المسجد مقتديا بإمام في المسجد وبنو خلف الإمام يجوز والمعتكف إذا صعد سطح المسجد لا ينقض اعتكافه . ولا يحل للجنب والحائض والنفساء صعود سطحه اھ ( ج ۳ ص ۴۵)۔
و في حاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار): (قوله لأنه مسجد) (إلی قوله) قال الزيلعي: ولهذا يصح اقتداء من على سطح المسجد بمن فيه إذا لم يتقدم على الإمام. ولا يبطل الاعتكاف بالصعود إليه ولا يحل للجنب والحائض والنفساء الوقوف عليه اھ (1/ 656)۔
وفيه ايضاً : وسطح المسجد له حكم المسجد اھ (1/ 587) والله اعلم بالصواب
