Leaving the I'tikaf due to the Mosque's Collapse

Question
What is the ruling on my I'tikaf if the mosque I am in collapses?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: You should move to another mosque to complete your I'tikaf, and your I'tikaf is not invalidated due to necessity; because after the collapse, there is no mosque left, so its condition is lost. Refer to: Al-Mabsut 3: 121, and Al-Taybin 1: 351, and God knows best.
