What is the ruling on a man who forces his wife to have intercourse during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman says: I was fasting during the day in Ramadan, then my husband came home from a trip and wanted to have intercourse with me. I refused, but he forced me to do it. However, I was unable to resist because I was in the months of my pregnancy. What is required of both of us?
The Shaykh : As for the man, he has committed a sin. It is a disobedience to Allah the Exalted in himself, and he owes the expiation, which is freeing a slave. If he cannot find one, he must fast two consecutive months. If he is unable to do that, he must feed sixty poor people. Then he has committed another sin by forcing his wife to have intercourse, because that is an aggression on his part against her. Obedience to Allah is the priority. And fasting in Ramadan is an obligatory duty that is not hidden from anyone. As for her, she owes nothing, neither making up the fast nor an expiation, because
