Is it not said that a woman’s i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) in her home is better than in the mosque, just as her prayer is?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it not said that a woman’s i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) in her home is better than in the mosque, just as her prayer is?

Answer:
Her i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) is in her home to begin with; she does not have to be in a mosque like the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
