Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on women performing i'tikaf in the Sacred Mosque?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. I'tikaf is only performed in the mosque, for both men and women, but women perform it in the women's section, in the designated area for women that is screened off. Yes.
