The Expiation for Intercourse in Ramadan for the Willing Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. This questioner says: Why is there an expiation for intercourse upon the woman if she was willing, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to perform the expiation, and did not ask about his wife, nor did he inquire whether she was willing or not? What is the evidence for that?

Answer:
The woman did not come to ask. And he answered the questioner: The woman did not come to ask. It is well known that the Muslim man and woman are equal in what is obligatory and what is forbidden. In this matter, the man and woman are equal; there is no difference between the male and the female. Just as the expiation is obligatory for the male, the expiation is obligatory for the female if she consented. As for if she was coerced or forced, then she owes nothing. Yes.
