Having sexual intercourse during the day of Ramadan while on a journey

Q 2: Two traveling spouses availing themselves of the Rukhsah (concession) allowing travelers not to observe Sawm (Fast) and to shorten Salah (Prayer); what is the ruling on their having sexual intercourse during the daytime in Ramadan?


(Part No. 10; Page No. 203)  A: Travelers are allowed to refrain from Sawm during the daytime in Ramadan, but they should make up for it later, because Allah (Exalted be He) says: ...and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Accordingly, it is permissible for them to eat, drink, and have sexual intercourse as long as they are traveling.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
