Ruling on a traveler having intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the ruling for one who has intercourse during the day in Ramadan while fasting, and is it permissible for a traveler who breaks his fast to have intercourse with his wife?
Answer: One who has intercourse during the day in Ramadan while observing an obligatory fast owes the expiation, meaning the expiation for zihar, along with the obligation to make up the day, and he must repent to Allah, the Exalted, for what he did.
As for one who is a traveler or sick with an illness that permits him to break his fast, he owes no expiation and there is no blame on him, but he must make up the day on which he had intercourse; because it is permissible for the sick person and the traveler to break their fast through intercourse or otherwise, as Allah, the Exalted, said: [al-Baqarah:184].
The ruling for the woman in this case is the same as the ruling for the man: if her fast is obligatory, she owes the expiation along with making up the day, and if she is a traveler or sick with an illness that makes fasting difficult, she owes no expiation.

So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]
فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَThe ruling for the woman in this case is the same as the ruling for the man: if her fast is obligatory, she owes the expiation along with making up the day, and if she is a traveler or sick with an illness that makes fasting difficult, she owes no expiation.
