The Contact of the Worshipper with His Wife

Question
Is it permissible for the worshipper to contact his wife during his retreat, or does it invalidate his retreat?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for the person in i'tikaf to contact his wife by phone for a necessity, otherwise he should remain preoccupied with God Almighty, and God knows best.
