Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does "tying the waistband" mean as an allusion to abstaining from sexual intercourse?

Answer:
Some scholars have interpreted it in that sense, but it is broader; because the person in i'tikaf does not have sexual intercourse
And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosquesوَلَا تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنْتُمْ عَاكِفُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ
[al-Baqarah:187]. The other narration states: "Tying the waistband and secluding oneself from women."
