Question:
A woman performed i'tikaf in the Haram for one night, and her husband had given her permission. She came from Makkah and wishes to perform i'tikaf in the Haram. Will she be sinful?
Answer:
If her husband has given her permission and her performing i'tikaf in the Haram does not lead to any harm or the neglect of any of her obligatory duties, then there is nothing wrong with it. She may perform i'tikaf, but she must cover herself, observe hijab, and keep her distance from free mixing with men. Yes.
