Sexual Intercourse During I'tikaf
You want to perform I'tikaf in the last ten days, is it permissible for you to prepare food and carry out all your activities, and if your husband requests to be intimate with you, is that permissible or must you sit in a room and not leave it except for ablution?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: She can perform all her duties, including intimacy, and at other times she can sit in the mosque of her house, in seclusion, turning towards her Lord. And God knows best.
