Question

My question is complex. First, during the first Ramadan that my wife and I were married, we did something that we are ashamed of and have sincerely repented for; and that is have intercourse while fasting. Unfortunately, this occured 2 or 3 times.
I have come to know that the correct action for this is to: first free a slave or second, fast for 60 days continuously. The first option of freeing a slave is not possible, so my question is about fasting.

I could fast for sixty days..... Also, if one is to fast is that 60 days for each time one had intercourse during Ramadans fast?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

Our advice is that you should try to fast the two consecutive months during cold or temperate days when the days will be shorter and it will be less difficult for you, or during the annual leave which your employer gives you, and other opportunities which you can make use of for this purpose. If you really and truly cannot fast, then it is permissible for you to feed sixty poor persons.

You could give them food in stages – according to what you are able to do – until you have fed the complete number. Your wife also has to make a similar expiation if she was a willing partner in the act of intercourse during the day in Ramadan. If the number of times that intercourse took place happened on different days, then you have to offer expiation for each day on which the sanctity of the sacred month was broken.

According to a report narrated by Ahmad from 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), whilst the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sitting in the shade of the fortress of Hassaan, a man came to him and said, "I have been burnt, O Messenger of Allaah!" He asked, "What is wrong with you?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife whilst I was fasting." She ['Aa'ishah] said: that was in Ramadaan. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him, "Sit down," so he sat down at the back of the gathering. Then a man came with a donkey on whose back was a basket of dates, and said: "This is my sadaqah (charity) O Messenger of Allaah." The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Where is the burnt one who just came?" He said: "Here I am, O Messenger of Allaah." He said: "Take this and give it in charity." He said, "Where should it go except to me and my family, O Messenger of Allaah? By Him Who sent you with the truth, I cannot find anything for me and my family." He said: "Take it." So he took it. (al-Musnad 6/276).
