A tent made of hair would be set up for him, he would tighten his waist wrap, and he would fold up his bedding." Some people said he would also avoid the company of women. Regarding this, Abu Abdullah (as) said: "As for avoiding women, no."
2088 - وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ اِعْتَكَفَ عَشْرَيْنِ عَشْراً لِعَامِهِ وَ عَشْراً قَضَاءً لِمَا فَاتَهُ ».

There is no harm in performing i'tikaf in the mosque of Kufa, the mosque of Basra, the mosque of Medina, and the mosque of Mecca.'"

The one performing i'tikaf should not leave the congregational mosque except for a necessity that cannot be avoided, and they should not sit until they return. The same applies to women."

Imam (as) said: 'If she left the mosque before completing three days and had not stipulated any conditions for her i'tikaf, then she incurs the same penalty as that of one who has taken a vow of zihar (penalty for breaking a serious vow).'"
2095 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ يَكُونُ اَلاِعْتِكَافُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَ مَنِ اِعْتَكَفَ صَامَ وَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُعْتَكِفِ إِذَا اِعْتَكَفَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ كَمَا يَشْتَرِطُ اَلَّذِي يُحْرِمُ ».

However, if they stay for two days after the initial three, they must complete another three days and not leave the mosque until they have done so."
2098 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ فَمَا ذَا أَقُولُ وَ مَا ذَا أَفْرِضُ عَلَى نَفْسِي فَقَالَ «لاَ تَخْرُجْ مِنَ اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهَا وَ لاَ تَقْعُدْ تَحْتَ ظِلاَلٍ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِكَ.

2099 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُعْتَكِفِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ لاَ يَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ وَ لاَ يَخْرُجُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ لِجَنَازَةٍ أَوْ يَعُودُ مَرِيضاً وَ لاَ يَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ قَالَ وَ اِعْتِكَافُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ.
Hadith.2099 - It is narrated by Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: "It is not appropriate for the one performing i'tikaf to leave the mosque except for an unavoidable necessity, and they should not sit until they return.

2100 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا مَرِضَ اَلْمُعْتَكِفُ أَوْ طَمِثَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلْمُعْتَكِفَةُ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي بَيْتَهُ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُ إِذَا بَرَأَ وَ يَصُومُ ».

However, if they engage in sexual relations during the day, they must pay two expiations."

Imam Al-Hasan (as) said: 'By Allah (swt), I have no money to repay your debt.' The man then said: 'Could you speak to him on my behalf?' Imam Al-Hasan (as) put on his sandals. I said to Imam (as): 'O son of the Messenger of Allah (swt), have you forgotten your i'tikaf?' Imam (as) replied: 'I have not forgotten. But I heard my father (as) narrating from my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), who said: “Whoever strives to fulfill the need of his Muslim brother, it is as if he worshipped Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, for nine thousand years, fasting during the day and standing in prayer at night.”'
