The prohibition of couples engaging in intimacy during fasting

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

According to Shariah, if one ejaculates after masturbation while fasting, one Qadha fast becomes compulsory only and no Kaffarah is required.[1] One should advise one’s husband of the prohibition of engaging in intimacy during fasting and defer such activities until after the fasting time has elapsed.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
