Can a master prevent a Muqtab (a contracted slave aiming for freedom) from performing obligatory or voluntary I'tikaf?

Primary text
The master cannot prevent a Muqtab from performing obligatory or voluntary I'tikaf because the master does not own the Muqtab's benefits; he only has a debt claim against him, making him like a free debtor.
