The Ruling on a Husband Traveling to Break His Fast and Have Intercourse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, my husband intentionally travels in order to break his fast and to have intercourse with me. Is that valid on his part? And do I commit a sin if I comply with him? Please advise us, and may Allah reward you.

Answer:
The traveler has a dispensation to break his fast; he has a dispensation to break his fast, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other daysوَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
As long as this travel is permissible, he may avail himself of the dispensation, even if it is for recreation, or for trade, or to visit relatives, or for other matters. However, if his intention is to have intercourse with his wife while traveling, that is disliked for him. We do not say it is forbidden, but we say that this intention is disliked for him. Yes.
