Sicilian closed variation, light square bishop

when you do the white side of a closed sicilian, what are you supposed to do with the light square bishop? Are you supposed to lock it out of the pawn chain so it has space, or keep it on inside the pawn chain so it plays on the kingside? i have seen people fianchetto it, but that seems to go against the closed nature, of the closed sicilian.
