He Had Intercourse With His Wife When She Was Making Up A Ramadaan Fast. What Should They Do?

The Awqaf -
Living Shariah
I had intercourse with my wife when she was
making up some days that she had missed from the
previous Ramadaan, and she was not able to make up all
of the days.
Please note that she had asked me for permission to
fast and I had given her permission.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is not permissible for a person who has begun an
obligatory fast – such as making up a Ramadaan fast,
or offering kafaarat yameen (expiation for breaking an
oath) – to break that fast except for a legitimate
reason such as sickness or travelling.
If he breaks the fast – whether that is for a valid
reason or not – that fast still remains an obligation
that he owes and he has to fast another day to make up
for the day when he spoiled his fast.
If he broke his fast with no excuse, then as well as
making up the fast he also has to repent to Allaah for
doing this haraam action.
Your wife does not have to offer any expiation,
because the expiation is only required for intercourse
during the day in Ramadaan.
We have previously discussed this in the answer to
question no. 49985.
Secondly:
You did wrong by spoiling your wife's fast, because if
a wife observes a fast to make up for a missed
Ramadaan fast, with her husband's permission, he does
not have the right to spoil her fast.
You both have to repent to Allaah, regret what you did
and resolve not to do it again. If you forced her then
there is no sin on her.
And Allaah knows best.
