Machine translationRead the Arabic original
All right, if he has intercourse, we would like to know the punishment for that?
Answer: Intercourse is the insertion of the glans of the penis into the vagina. If he inserts it, even if he does not ejaculate, if he inserts his penis into her vagina during the day, then this fasting is not permissible. He must repent and seek forgiveness, and he must feel remorse. In addition, he owes an expiation, which is freeing a believing slave. If he cannot do that, he must fast for two consecutive months. If he cannot fast, he must feed sixty poor people, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the staple food of the country, such as dates, rice, or something else. This is the expiation for intercourse in Ramadan. As for at night, there is no harm; if he has intercourse with his wife at night, there is no harm, throughout all of Ramadan, even in the last ten days, provided he is not in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), even in the last ten days, if he is not in i'tikaf, he may have intercourse. But during the day, no, he must never have intercourse with his wife during the day of fasting, during the day in Ramadan, and it is forbidden for him to have intercourse with her. As for kissing, him kissing her, touching her, embracing her, sleeping with her, all of this is without blame, and praise be to Allah. But if he has a strong desire and fears he will have intercourse, it is better for him to leave off kissing and embracing her if he has a strong desire, and he should sleep alone during the day, not embracing her, if he is a person of strong desire who cannot control himself and leaves off this thing. But if he does not, if he has endurance, if he has patience, if he can control himself, then there is no harm in sleeping with her and no harm in kissing her, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
