Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The conditions and regulations of i'tikaf? Are there conditions and regulations for i'tikaf? I'tikaf in the last ten days? Are there conditions and regulations?
Answer:
I'tikaf is a recommended practice (sunnah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform i'tikaf in the last ten days. If one performs i'tikaf for a day, two days, or half a day, there is no fixed limit. There is no fixed limit for i'tikaf. I am with you on the screen. There is no fixed limit; no fixed limit has been reported. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said, "Do not have sexual relations with them while you are in i'tikaf in the mosques." If one intends to perform i'tikaf for a day, two days, ten days, or five days, the matter is broad.
