The ruling on one who has intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Faisal from Najran says: Peace be upon you, Shaykh Salih. I am a young man who recently got married, and this year’s Ramadan is the first Ramadan I have experienced while married. I had intercourse with my wife during the day in Ramadan while we were fasting. What is the ruling for me and my wife? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
The expiation is that you make up the day on which you had intercourse with her; you and she, each of you, she is like you. You both have to make up the day on which you had intercourse with her. That is the first matter. The second matter is that each of you has to pay the expiation, which is freeing a slave. If he does not find a slave, he has to fast for two consecutive months. So you both have to fast for two consecutive months, each of you. Yes.
