If a person deliberately engages in sexual intercourse during the daytime while fasting in the month of Ramadan, what must they do?
If someone intentionally engages in sexual intercourse during the day in Ramadan, they are required to pay kaffarah in the following order:
1. Freeing a slave (no longer applicable today)
2. Fasting for two consecutive months
3. If unable, feeding 60 poor people
Reference (Hadith): “A man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined! The Prophet asked: What happened? The man replied: I had intercourse with my wife during the day in Ramadan. The Prophet said: You must free a slave. The man said: I cannot afford it. The Prophet said: Then you must fast for two consecutive months. The man said: I cannot do that either. The Prophet said: Then you must feed 60 poor people.” (Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)
