I had intercourse with my wife on more than one day during the daytime of Ramadan. Is it necessary to fast two consecutive months for each day, or is it sufficient to fast once?

Question:
He asks and says: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan, and I fasted two consecutive months. Is fasting the two months sufficient for the days I was asked about, or is it necessary to fast two months for each day?

Answer:
If he had intercourse on multiple days, then he must fast two consecutive months for each day, and each day has an independent act of worship. If he had intercourse in them, he committed a forbidden act, and his fast became invalid. He must repent to Allah, and it is obligatory for him to make up the day on which he had intercourse, and it is obligatory for him to pay the expiation, which is freeing a slave. If he does not find one, he must fast two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, he must feed sixty poor people. This is the expiation for those who commit this sin in Ramadan, and it multiplies because the sins multiply across the days.
