Does relinquishing the Diyah of the father make up for the expiation of having sex in the daytime in Ramadan?


A: If the case is as you mentioned, it is obligatory on both you and your wife to offer expiation for having sexual intercourse during the daytime in Ramadan. It is to emancipate a believing slave. If this is impossible, it is to fast two successive months. If you are also unable to do that, it is to feed sixty poor persons a mudd (measure) of wheat or half a Sa` (1 Sa`=3 kg. Approx.) from other things twice to make up for the two days. In addition, each of you has to make up for the two days and to feed two poor persons for having delayed the expiation for those days until another Ramadan came. You are also required to repent to Allah (Exalted be He) and seek His Forgiveness. Your relinquishing the Diyah (blood money) of your father does not make up for the expiation of having sexual intercourse in the daytime in Ramadan.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
