Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who engages in sexual relation with his wife in ‘Itikaf. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not go to his wife in ‘Itikaf in the day or night while he is in ‘Itikaf.’” وثق كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/437))
