Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) for a duration of one or two hours? For example, our lesson is from Maghrib to 'Isha'. Is it permissible for us to intend that it is in the category of i'tikaf?
Answer:
Yes, some scholars say that i'tikaf has no minimum or maximum limit. So if a person enters the mosque for prayer, he intends i'tikaf. However, there is a point of consideration in this, and Allah knows best.
