Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) from the Maghrib prayer to the 'Isha' prayer for the sake of seeking knowledge and the like, and what is the minimum duration for i'tikaf?
Answer:
I'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) does not have a fixed duration. It is staying in the mosque for the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), even if it is short, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, one receives reward according to the length of the i'tikaf, whether it is long or short. Yes.
