What is the Sunnah regarding the time to begin i'tikaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If the person observing i'tikaf enters after Maghrib on the twentieth day to keep the night awake, is that better?
There is no harm in that, but the Sunnah is to enter after the Fajr prayer, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
