"itikaf - to isolate yourself from people and dunya".

Hmm maybe it would be easier in the mosque coz there are no distractions....
 
yeah, mosque which provides facilities for sisters-peace and quiet insha allah
 
no i completely agree! Its BEST done in the masjid. But like i sed b4, the essence of itikaaf is "seclusion".

I just know a lot of extremely pious elders who hav performed itikaaf in there homes... its accepted if you follow the rules of itikaaf... some1 correct me!!!

But Brother do you have a daleel for this? I personally do not know of any daleels of I'tikaaf in the home or any place else in the Masjid.
I recall one event in Yemen where I was studying, a sister attempted to do I'tikaaf in the sisters Library, but then the Shiekhah told her that no she cannot do that and it must be only done in the masjid.
And remember the hadeeth which tells us about the Prophets wives? IT stated that after Rasululllah died, his wives continued doing I'tikaaf in the Masjid
If I'tikaaf could be at home.....dont you think they would have done it at home?

Question :

Can a woman observe itikaf at home , what if she has to cook.


Answer :

Praise be to Allaah.

I’tikaaf is only valid if done in the mosque, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I‘tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques”

[al-Baqarah 2:187]

Men and women are equal in this regard.

Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni:

A woman has the right to observe i‘tikaaf in any mosque, and that is not subject to the condition that it be a mosque where prayers are performed in congregation, because that is not obligatory upon her. This was the view of al-Shaafa’i.

She does not have the right to observe i'tikaaf in her house, because Allaah says “while you are in I‘tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques”, and because the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him for permission to observe i’tikaaf in the mosque, and he gave them permission.

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo’ (6/480):

It is not correct for a man or a woman to observe i'tikaaf anywhere except in the mosque.

This is the view favoured by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen in al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 6/513

And Allaah knows best.
