The Expiation for Intercourse During the Daytime of Ramadan

The questioner:
Yahya from Riyadh, go ahead, Yahya. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you in good health.

The Shaykh:
And peace be upon you.

The questioner:
I have a question. I have a fast to make up from Ramadan of last year, and I have already made up the fast, but I also have to feed sixty poor people. I do not know if I must feed the sixty poor people before the upcoming Ramadan, or if it can be done at any time?

The Shaykh:
What is the reason for the feeding?

The questioner:
It was a Friday in Ramadan.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not feeding sixty poor people; for this, the ruling is fasting two consecutive months. Yes, that is correct. Fasting two consecutive months. First, freeing a slave if you are able to do so. Second, fasting two consecutive months if you are unable to find a slave to free. Third, if you are unable to fast, you feed sixty poor people. This is what is mentioned in the hadith. Yes.
