Those who disliked the person in itikaf going under a roof

Ata said: When Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) intended to observe i'tikaf, he would set up a tent for himself and attend to his needs in it. Then he would neither come to his family nor go beneath a roof.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw some people who had put up screens in the mosque for i'tikaf. Sayyiduna Umar disapproved of it and asked, "What is this?" They said, "We put up the screens for eating our food." Sayyiduna Umar said, "Put up the screens for eating your food, and when you have finished eating, take the screens down."

Ikrimah said: The one in i'tikaf will not enter a roofed room.

Ibrahim said: The one in i'tikaf will not go beneath a roof.

Abu Salamah said: He will not enter a house.

Al-Sha'bi said: He will not enter a room.
