I had intercourse with my wife before the Fajr adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: On one of the nights of Ramadan 1426 AH, I had intercourse with my wife before the Fajr adhan. During the intercourse, the adhan for the Fajr prayer was called. It is known that the mu'adhdhin is certified to call the adhan at the correct time according to the Umm al-Qura calendar, and it is commonly said that this calendar is slightly ahead of the actual time of Fajr. I continued the intercourse until the middle of the adhan, and then I got up to perform ghusl from janabah while the adhan was still ongoing. I testify to Allah regarding what I am saying that I performed ghusl while he was still calling the adhan. My question: Is there any blame on me and my wife for this?
A: If the situation is as described, then you must repeat the fast for this day, and you must pay the kaffarah for intercourse during the day of Ramadan. This is: freeing a slave. If you cannot find one, then you must fast
two consecutive months. If you are unable to do so, then you must feed sixty poor people. This is because you had intercourse after the appearance of Fajr, as you mentioned that the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan at the time of Fajr's appearance. Your wife is subject to the same ruling we mentioned regarding repeating the fast for the day and paying the kaffarah.
