Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: It is reported that some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to come to him in the mosque while he was in i'tikaf and converse with him. Does this mean that

Answer:
it is permissible to visit the one in i'tikaf? A visit that does not contradict the rules is permissible, but it should not be prolonged with him, nor should the visits become repeated. A visit that does not contradict the rules is permissible for the one in i'tikaf. Yes, his wife may visit him, attend to his affairs, and fix his hair, just as 'A'ishah used to do with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
