Question:
The questioner asks: Is the ruling on the secret habit in Ramadan the same as the ruling on intercourse with one's wife in Ramadan?
Answer:
No, it is not the same as the ruling on intercourse with one's wife, but it is forbidden and it invalidates the fast. So he has to make up the fast and repent to Allah the Exalted, and he does not owe an expiation; because it is not considered intercourse. Yes.
