Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
and in man's sexual Intercourse (with his wife, ) there is a Sadaqaوفي بُضْع أحدكم صَدَقَة
Sahih Muslim 1006
Is intention required for this?

Answer:
No, it is not apparent. Even if he has no intention, he is rewarded for having intercourse with his wife; because it is among the means of lowering the gaze and guarding the private parts for him and for her. They said:
Messenger of Allah, is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.يا رسول الله أيأتي أحدنا شهوته ويكون له فيها أجر؟ قال: أرأيتم لو وضعها في حرام أكان عليه وزر؟ فهكذا إذا وضعها في الحلال كان له أجر
