I'tikaf at Home

Question
Inside the mosque, there is a room where the muezzin resides. Is it permissible for the person in i'tikaf to enter this room? Is it permissible to intend i'tikaf from Maghrib until the end of Taraweeh prayer or part of the night? Does this i'tikaf serve as a confirmed Sunnah in this time due to the closure of mosques?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: I'tikaf does not occur except in it, and God knows best.
