Question:
Does the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) go out to the outer courtyard?
Answer:
No. The area inside the doors is the place for i'tikaf. As for what is outside the doors, he does not go out there except for a need. If he has a need that does not contradict his state, he returns.
