Question Detail:

I was wondering if a woman is allowed to do Itikaaf at home.

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The Fuqaha (Jurists) have mentioned that a woman should perform I’tikaaf in the Masjid of her home; this refers to a place which has been designated for Salaah within the confines of the home.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
