I'tikaf is an Islamic practice of secluding oneself during the final 10 days of Ramadan in a mosque for men or at home for women with devoting oneself to ibadah during these days.

The Ministry of Endowments stipulated that the age of the person in retreat should not be less than 18 years, or that the guardian be accompanied.

The Qatari Awqaf stressed the importance of adhering to the guidelines of the personal hygiene and the cleanliness of the mosques.
