The Ruling on a Woman Performing I'tikaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the woman, is she permitted to perform i'tikaf, O Shaykh?
Answer:
She is permitted to perform i'tikaf; because the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform i'tikaf in the mosque. Tents were set up for them, and they would perform i'tikaf in the mosque; because i'tikaf is not valid except in the mosque, for both men and women. Yes.
