Sexual relations while fasting

· 29 Jumada I 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a couple has Jima (inercourse) in Ramadhaan, the husband is a hanafi and the wife's a shafi. Does the husband only pay the kaffarah?

Answer

Apart from the qazaa, both will have to fast two months consecutively as kaffarah for breaking the fast of Ramadaan intentionally.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
