Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man has a fast to make up from Ramadan, and he had intercourse with his wife while fasting. Does he have to pay an expiation, or does he only have to make up that day? Does the expiation apply in Ramadan and in other cases of making up fasts?
The Shaykh : The expiation is not obligatory in the case of making up fasts. If a person is fasting to make up a day from Ramadan and then has intercourse with his wife during the day, he has committed a sin, and he must repent and make up that day, but he does not have to pay an expiation. This is because the expiation is only obligatory for intercourse during the day of Ramadan for one for whom fasting is obligatory. Yes.
