Having sex with an animal during the daytime in Ramadan

Q: A weak man is now 60 years old, and he remembers that he committed a major sin when he was less than 20 years of age. He had sex with a she-donkey during the daytime in Ramadan 36 years ago. He asked for a private Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) about his act. We cannot give him the answer (Part No. 9; Page No. 259) or give him Fatwa. We hope that Allah (Exalted be He) will help you give us Fatwa in this regard. We also ask you to reply to us in a written letter. We supplicate to Allah, the All-High and Omnipotent to multiply your reward and to accept our repentance and that of all Muslims, for He is the Best Guardian and the Supporter.


A: This man is required to make up for the day in which he did it, feed a poor person for delaying making up for that day, and repent to Allah (Exalted be He) for what he did.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
