Q: After eating Suhur (pre-dawn meal) on the 28th of Ramadan,
I had sexual intercourse with my wife and we finished when the Iqamah (call to start Prayer) was announced. I do not know whether (Part No. 9; Page No. 241) intercourse took place before or after the time of Fajr (Dawn) Prayer.
Please give me your Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) to know whether I have to make up for that day and whether I am charged with the due Kaffarah (expiation).
A:
If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife during the daytime or at night and continued till the daytime in Ramadan, as indicated in the aforementioned question, he is required to make up for that day and to observe the due Kaffarah, which is to emancipate a believing slave. If he cannot do that, he has to fast two successive months. If this is also impossible, he is required to feed sixty poor persons.The wife has to make up for that day, and if she had sexual intercourse willingly, she is charged with the due Kaffarah as well.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
