Intercourse during the making up of missed fasts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person has to make up some days of fasting, and he fasts to make them up, and he has intercourse with his wife while fasting to make them up, does his ruling become the same as the ruling for one who has intercourse while fasting in Ramadan?

Answer:
This is forbidden for him; it breaks the fast and invalidates the fast of making up, because once he enters into it, it becomes obligatory, so it is not permissible for him to break it, neither by intercourse, nor by eating, nor by drinking. He must complete it just as he would the regular fast. However, if he has intercourse, he must complete the fast, but he does not have to pay an expiation. The expiation is only for the one who has intercourse during the day in Ramadan specifically. Yes.
