A man and his wife arrived during the day in Ramadan from a journey while not fasting; is it obligatory for them to abstain for the rest of the day?

The questioner:
Yes. Peace be upon you, and upon you be peace. May Allah keep you in goodness, dear young men. May Allah welcome you, and may the blessed month be upon you.

The Shaykh:
Allah is the Greatest.

The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Regarding a traveler who arrived from his journey while not fasting, of course.

The Shaykh:
He abstains, he abstains, like the letter ha if you extend it, and the soul if you extend it.

The questioner:
What happened, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
If he sees it, by Allah, he abstains. Everyone abstains.

The questioner:
It happened.

The Shaykh:
Today.

The questioner:
The midday prayer arrived, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Abstain with him from today until the afternoon prayer arrived.

The questioner:
No, but let me tell you what happened, Shaykh. When the midday prayer arrived, he had intercourse with his wife.

The Shaykh:
They all owe the expiation.

The questioner:
The expiation.

The Shaykh:
Yes, two months of hardship for each of them.

The questioner:
Okay, they were not fasting, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
Along with making up the day.

The questioner:
I say, they were not fasting, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Did they break their fast?

The questioner:
They were traveling and arrived in the town.

The Shaykh:
They owe the expiation because when they arrived, they abstained.
