''My husband had sexual intercourse

(Part No. 10; Page No. 307) A: Anyone who is legally competent to observe Sawm and had intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan while knowing that doing so is prohibited, should offer expiation along with making up for that day even though he did not ejaculate. Moreover, he has to repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness from this grievous sin.Expiation for Sawm is freeing a slave, but if a person can not do so, then he has to observe Sawm for two consecutive months, if he can not observe Sawm, then he has to feed sixty needy persons. He has to give every needy person half a Sa` (1 Sa`=3 kg. Approx.) of wheat, dates or the like of the food of the area. He also has to make Ghusl in order to perform Salah even though he did not ejaculate semen.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
