The person in itikaf who has intercourse: what he owes for it

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If the one in i'tikaf has intercourse, his i'tikaf is broken; he must now observe i'tikaf again.

Ata said: He will make up his i'tikaf and start it afresh.

Ash'ath said: He will make up his i'tikaf.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, al-Qasim and Salim said: He will observe i'tikaf again from the beginning.

Al-Hasan said: Having intercourse with one's wife while in i'tikaf is like having intercourse with one's wife in Ramadan. The same is binding on him as is binding on the one who has intercourse in Ramadan.

Al-Dahhak said: People used to have intercourse while in i'tikaf, whereupon this verse was revealed: "And do not have relations with them (your wives) while you are observing i'tikaf in the mosques" [Al-Baqarah: 187].

Al-Zuhri said: Whoever has intercourse with his wife while in i'tikaf, the same expiation is binding on him as is binding on the one who has intercourse in Ramadan.

Mujahid said: If the one in i'tikaf has intercourse, he will give two dinars in charity.

Al-Sha'bi said: If a woman vowed that she would observe i'tikaf for fifty days, and when she had completed forty, her husband came and sent for her and she went to him, then she should complete the remaining days.
