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

Question : Shaykh Muhammad, this questioner says: A man had intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan. What is required of him in such a case?

Answer : If they were traveling, then nothing is required of them, even if they were fasting. An example of this is a man who traveled with his family in Ramadan and they fasted while traveling, then he decided to have intercourse with his wife during the day; there is no blame on him and no sin on him. She says. As for if he was in the city, meaning in their city, then intercourse breaks the fast, and it is one of the greatest things that break the fast in terms of sin. Therefore, expiation is obligatory for the man and the woman if the woman was willing. The expiation is freeing a slave. If he does not find one, then fasting two consecutive months. He does not break the fast in them except if he has a valid religious excuse. If he cannot do that, then feeding sixty poor people. Yes.
