What is the ruling on a man who had intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan, and he gave out grain for sixty poor people? Does this suffice for him?

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a man who had intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan, knowing that he has given out grain for sixty poor people? Does this suffice for him?

Answer:
Intercourse in Ramadan is forbidden; it is not permissible for a man to have intercourse in Ramadan, and it is of the same nature as fasting. Rather, he must refrain from it, and the woman must prevent him from it. It is not permissible for either of them. If he does so, he has committed a sin, and they must repent to Allah, make up the day, and pay the expiation, which is freeing a slave. If one cannot do that, he feeds sixty poor people, thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), half a sa' for each poor person, approximately one and a half kilograms, of the staple food of the land, such as dates or otherwise. This is what is obligatory for the one who has intercourse with his wife in Ramadan, and she is like him in this, along with repentance to Allah and making up the day; because this is a great evil. Yes. Yes.
