The Ruling on Using a Stratagem to Avoid the Expiation for Intercourse

Question: The questioner / A. S. M. from Dammam says in his question: We were in a gathering with some of the brothers, and the conversation was about fasting and its invalidators. One of the brothers said that he had heard another person say: If a person is compelled to have intercourse with his wife while fasting during the day in Ramadan, and he breaks his fast before that by eating or drinking, then he is safe from the expiation that follows one who has intercourse during the day in Ramadan. Is what this brother said correct? We ask for your guidance.

Answer: This statement is invalid and not correct. It is obligatory for the Muslim to be cautious of intercourse in Ramadan if he is a resident and in good health, and likewise for the woman if she is a resident and in good health.
As for the traveler, there is no blame on him for having intercourse with his traveling wife, and likewise for the sick man with the sick woman if fasting is difficult for them. And success is from Allah.
