Mentioning eating, drinking, and intercourse, and that they are among the things that break the fast, with the evidence.

The Shaykh : I say, first, we begin with eating, drinking, and intercourse. The evidence for these three is the saying of Allah the Exalted: Where is intercourse mentioned in the verse? In "approach them." Eating and drinking are well known. And in the verse is evidence that among the etiquettes of address is that a person should use euphemism for what he is shy to mention. Pay attention: things that a person is shy to mention, it is befitting for him to use euphemism for them, because this is the correct style in which Allah Mighty and Majestic spoke in the Qur'an. You will find that all the verses in this chapter do not mention the thing explicitly; rather, Allah Mighty and Majestic comes with words that indicate it, but without explicit mention, because this is among the etiquettes. However, if necessity calls for mentioning it explicitly, then it is mentioned explicitly and not euphemized. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the one who was being pressed to confess to zina: he said to him: "Do not use euphemism." That is, a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and confessed that he committed zina with a woman. So the Messenger asked him, "Perhaps you kissed? Perhaps you touched? Perhaps you caressed?" And he said, "I committed zina," until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made him explicit with the explicit word, because the situation required it. As for when the situation does not require it, it is better to express it with euphemism, because he is shy of it explicitly. Eating and drinking, O my brothers, we begin first with intercourse. If a person has intercourse during the day of Ramadan, and he is among those for whom fasting is obligatory, then four rulings follow from his intercourse: sin, the obligation to abstain, the obligation to make up the fast, and the obligation of expiation. Pay attention to the rulings. If a person has intercourse during the day of Ramadan, and he is among those for whom fasting is obligatory, then four matters follow from his intercourse: sin, the obligation to abstain, the obligation to make up the fast, and expiation. Good. And we said: "and he is among those for whom fasting is obligatory," to exclude the case where a person has intercourse during the day of Ramadan and fasting is not obligatory upon him, such as a traveler. If a man traveled with his family and fasted Ramadan, and during the day the man wanted to enjoy his family, so he had intercourse with his wife while fasting, then there is no sin upon him, no abstention, and no expiation, but he must make up the fast, because he broke his fast, and nothing else is required of him. Good. If the conditions are met, that he had intercourse during the day of Ramadan and fasting is obligatory upon him, then the four follow. The evidence for this: As for the prohibition, its evidence is apparent. As for the obligation to abstain, its evidence is apparent, because Allah said: So Allah obligated abstention until night. If a person breaks his fast with one of these three things, he becomes one who has disobeyed the command of Allah Mighty and Majestic and has fallen into what Allah has forbidden him. Good. The obligation to abstain: why is abstention obligatory, and he does not benefit from this day? Because this day is respected in his right. It is respected because it is a day of Ramadan, and it is obligatory for the Muslim to be fasting during the day of Ramadan. So when he violated the sanctity of the day in a manner not prescribed, this violation had no effect, and the sanctity of the time remained in his right, so he was obligated to abstain. As for the obligation to make up the fast, it is apparent, because he broke his fast, so he must make it up. As for the obligation of expiation, its evidence is the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): So this man who left his home fearful and trembling returned to his home as a winner. What happened? The dates became food for his family. Do we say he was saved from the expiation? There is a difference of opinion among the scholars. Some said that if he is unable to perform the expiation, it is dropped from him, because all obligations are dropped by inability. And some said that if he is unable to perform the expiation, it remains in his debt. The closest view is that if he is unable to perform the expiation at the time of its obligation, it is dropped from him, because one of the conditions of obligation is ability, and the one who is not able, Allah Mighty and Majestic says: Good. If the expiation becomes obligatory for intercourse during the day of Ramadan, when? When fasting is obligatory upon him, otherwise not.
