The established authentic reports concerning the case of Ma'iz indicate that the four required confessions occurred within a single sitting. Therefore, fulfilling the requirement in one session is sufficient.

There is a differing view, attributed to Abu Hanifah, that the four necessary confessions must be made across four separate gatherings (majalis).
