A
woman performing i'tikaaf at home
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to perform i'tikaaf
at the place of prayer in her home?
Response:
No. If a woman wishes to perform i'tikaaf,
then she should do so in a masjid,
so long as there is no danger in that (such as free-mixing
and complacency regarding the hijaab,
etc). (However), if there is any danger in that, then she
should not perform i'tikaaf.
