A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Najran from ‘Abd Allah ibn al- Mughirah from Sanaa ‘ah ibn Mehran who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in ‘Itikaf engages in sexual relation with his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is like one who destroys one day of fast in the month of Ramadan.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/437))
