Intercourse during the day in Ramadan out of ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I married a man who is ignorant in his religion, and he had intercourse with me during the day in Ramadan several times. I was ignorant of this matter and did not know. What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You all owe the expiation, making up the day, along with the expiation. Every day of intercourse must be made up along with the expiation. That is, you should wait to see if you are able to fast. If you are unable, you fast many days, like the days of the Tabi'un. If you are still unable, you feed sixty poor people, thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg). Each of you owes thirty sa' for sixty poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa'. This is well known from the religion as a matter of necessity: preventing the woman from intercourse, preventing the man from intercourse during fasting. This is well known. This gathering is not an excuse; rather, it is leniency after negligence.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
