Is expiation obligatory for one who has intercourse with his wife while fasting a fast of a vow or making up a missed fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, the one who has intercourse with his wife outside of Ramadan, fasting, meaning fasting out of obligation, making up a fast from Ramadan or for a vow he made, does the expiation fall upon him, or is the expiation specific to the sanctity of Ramadan for the sake of Ramadan itself?
The Shaykh : Your question is not clear.
The questioner : I mean, I am saying, our Shaykh: the one who has intercourse with his wife intentionally and deliberately in Ramadan while fasting, the expiation is obligatory upon him.
The Shaykh : The major expiation?
The questioner : Yes, the major expiation, either freeing a slave, feeding the poor, or fasting.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : And the one who has intercourse with his wife, who for example broke his fast in Ramadan for an excuse, then came to fast this day on a later day?
The Shaykh : Making up a fast, meaning?
The questioner : Yes, and he had intercourse with his wife on this day on which he was fasting, is the expiation obligatory upon him?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : So the expiation is then specific to the sanctity of Ramadan?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
