Does the i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) of one who emits semen become invalid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If he emits semen, does his i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) become invalid?

Answer:
It does not become invalid, if Allah wills. Emission through physical contact invalidates the fast, but here it appears that his i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) is not invalidated; because what is forbidden for him is intercourse:
And do not have intercourse with themوَلا تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ
is an allusion to intercourse.
