That worship must be in accordance with the Shari'ah regarding its place, with examples.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, regarding the place.
Also, we mentioned an example of this.
If a person stood at Muzdalifah on the Day of 'Arafah, his standing would not be valid. Why? Because the worship did not conform to the Shari'ah in its place.
All right, as for i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), if one performed it in his home, it is not valid. Why? Because the place for i'tikaf is the mosque. For this reason, it is not valid for a woman to perform i'tikaf in her house, because that is not a place for i'tikaf.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he saw some of his wives making tents for themselves in the mosque, ordered the tents to be dismantled and the i'tikaf to be cancelled. He did not guide them to perform i'tikaf in their houses. This indicates that it is not permissible for a woman to perform i'tikaf in her house, as that contradicts the Shari'ah regarding the place.
That concludes it. I think these are the six attributes that must all be present in the worship for following the Prophet to be realized.
