The minimum duration for i'tikaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the minimum duration for i'tikaf?
Answer:
There is no fixed limit for i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque); Allah has not set a specific duration. I'tikaf can be long or short, and every deed has a reward: the short has a reward, and the long has a reward, and Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good. However, the more a person engages in i'tikaf, the better, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform i'tikaf for the entire last ten days. He would observe i'tikaf for the whole of the last ten days. Yes.
