Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the expiation for intercourse during the day in Ramadan if one is unable to free a slave or fast for two months, and what is the criterion for this?
Answer:
The man who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him that he had intercourse with his wife at the end of Ramadan, he said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): Do you find whatSunan Abi Dawud 2390Sahih (Al-Albani), and is it not fasting that caused me to do this? He said to him: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1200Hasan (Darussalam) I am able. So he sat with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left him, then a household poorer than his was brought, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him): Take it.
Some of the scholars say that this means the expiation was dropped from him due to his inability. And some of the scholars say that the expiation was not dropped, but it remains in his liability, so if he is able, he pays it out. According to the Hanbalis, it is dropped, and he said in the text of al-Zad: "If he does not find it, it is dropped," and they cited this hadith as evidence.
