Q: At dawn on Sunday (29/9/1416 A.H.) in the blessed month of Ramadan, I had sexual intercourse with my wife in a closed room at 5:17 am and we finished shortly at 5:22 am. The time of Fajr (Dawn) Prayer of Makkah was 5:31 am while the time of Fajr Prayer of Qunfudhah city was about 5:26 am on Sunday. When I finished and went out to take Ghusl (full ritual bath) I heard the Adhan (call to Prayer) of Fajr Prayer. Then, after about two minutes, the Mu'adhin (caller to Prayer) of the nearby mosque announced the Adhan. Am I sinful for having sexual intercourse with my wife at that time? It is noted that I did so another time in 1413 A.H. Really, I am (Part No. 9; Page No. 258) greatly perplexed, especially as my wife refused and she did so unwillingly. She suffers from a simple disease in her body. I hope you will give me a Fatwa (legal opinion issued a qualified Muslim scholar) for, as you know, this is a blessed month and we want to perfect our Sawm (Fast). It should be taken into consideration that my wife and I completed our Sawm and did not break it until that Sunday. May Allah reward you the best.
