The ruling on one who has intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh? May Allah prolong your life so that Muslims may benefit from you, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : In obedience to Allah.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, Shaykh. Shaykh, I am a young man. Six years ago, I was not committed to the religion. I used to pray intermittently and fast intermittently as well. I got married six years ago, a very short time before Ramadan, and I had intercourse with my wife during the day in Ramadan. What is the ruling on this, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Did you know that it is forbidden?
The questioner : I knew, but I was sitting on that day. I knew that it is forbidden for one to break the fast, but I did not know that there is an expiation upon him.
The Shaykh : Okay, if there is an expiation upon you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Mention it.
The questioner : And now, do you not have a slave, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Okay, two consecutive months?
The questioner : And is this sufficient for the days? I do not know the number of days I broke my fast in that month.
The Shaykh : Any month, any month. The expiation for the act you did covers it.
The questioner : The whole two months, but the whole thing.
The Shaykh : No, no. The scholars say that the expiation is for all of them, that all of them, if this is independent, and therefore if you fast on Monday, it will not invalidate the fast of Sunday or Tuesday.
The questioner : Yes, but the expiation is for each separate day in this month.
The Shaykh : The scholars say for each separate day, meaning if a man has intercourse on three days.
The questioner : All right.
The Shaykh : It is obligatory to fast two months, and two months, and two months.
The questioner : But I do not know, and I was mostly fasting in that month, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you.
The questioner : Okay, and regarding the inability to do this.
The Shaykh : This is my own desire to feed sixty poor people.
The questioner : For each day.
The Shaykh : For each day?
The questioner : For me and my wife.
The Shaykh : If your wife was coerced, there is nothing upon her.
The questioner : She was not coerced, but she did not know the ruling, just as I did not know it either.
The Shaykh : No, did your wife know that it was forbidden?
The questioner : She knew that it was forbidden, but she did not know.
The Shaykh : The expiation does not matter if this is an example of something forbidden, it is done, and the expiation becomes obligatory upon him, but I say two months or two consecutive months.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And if he died in the early morning, he feeds a poor person for each day, yes, a poor person for each day, a poor person.
The questioner : And the inability comes from what? How do I know about the inability for two months?
The Shaykh : I am calling you. Hello.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Hello, how are you?
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh? May Allah prolong your life so that Muslims may benefit from you, Shaykh.
