The person in I'tikaf should not leave his place of seclusion except for necessities, such as relieving himself, eating, and drinking, if there is no one to bring these to him. There is no harm in him leaving to wake his family for and prayer if they cannot wake up by themselves and do not find anyone to wake them. However, he should not sit in the house after waking them, but rather return immediately to his place of seclusion.
