Intercourse during the day of Ramadan for one who has returned from travel, and its expiation

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Shaykh Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him).

The Shaykh:
Something else?

Another questioner:
What Allah willed.

The questioner:
The Shaykh arrived in the town, and he was exercising the dispensation of travel. Does the Shaykh abstain?

The Shaykh:
Rather, ignorance.

The questioner:
Yes, indeed, Shaykh. His hometown? Yes, indeed, his hometown.

The Shaykh:
So the stronger position is that he abstains.

The questioner:
If you had intercourse, may Allah be pleased with you, do you owe an expiation?

The Shaykh:
He has to pay the expiation.

The questioner:
Life.

The Shaykh:
This is the more apparent view, because fasting is upon him, and eating and drinking are forbidden to him.

The questioner:
Is the expiation obligatory, or are there conditions?

The Shaykh:
The closer view is that it is obligatory.

Another questioner:
May Allah guide you.

The Shaykh:
When the prohibition of fasting ends, after the ten days have passed.

The questioner:
It can be used as evidence in the hadith of the Day of Ashura, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.

The Shaykh:
And they are among those who distort the evidence.

Another questioner:
Allah knows best, or as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said, that if one who was entrusted with a commodity finds a defect in it, he has the choice between keeping it and returning it, and nothing else.

The Shaykh:
And we fold it.

Another questioner:
The stronger view, except that it is rejected.

The Shaykh:
If the view is that Allah knows best.
