Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the minimum duration for i'tikaf?

Answer:
There is no fixed limit. I'tikaf can be for a day, half a day, an hour, or two hours. If one intends by sitting in the mosque to worship, recite, or do similar acts, then this is a type of i'tikaf, even if it is only for an hour or two. There is no fixed limit.
