Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for women to perform i'tikaf in this era, following the example of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, provided there is privacy and seclusion. There is nothing wrong with a woman performing i'tikaf; she may take a room in the mosque or a mat that is set aside for her, and she performs i'tikaf in it. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
