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

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! The questioner says: I am a young man, thirty years old. I had intercourse with my wife during the day in Ramadan, and it was not with her consent. It was due to my ignorance. Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good. Is there a sin on me, or an expiation? Is the expiation obligatory on me because of this?

Answer:
[Turn] to Allah and repentance to Him, urging oneself to stop, and not returning to it. And the expiation is upon you. Freeing a slave, but that is not available now and is not feasible. So you must fast two consecutive months. If you are unable to do so, feed sixty poor people, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each poor person, which is one and a half kilograms for each poor person of the staple food of the country, whether dates, rice, wheat, or other staple food of the country, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness. And she is like you if she was not coerced. As for if you coerced her by force such that she could not repel you, then there is nothing upon her. But if you coerced her, yet she consented and agreed and was lenient with you like you, she heard the expiation like you. Yes.
