The question

What is the religious ruling on making up for intentionally broken fasts and feeding the poor in Ramadan that occurred years ago? What is the expiation for a husband having intercourse with his wife during the daytime in Ramadan? And is it permissible to fast first and then pay the expiation later, given that the questioner suffers from diabetes?

The answer

You have committed a grave sin by intentionally breaking your fast on two days of Ramadan. You must repent sincerely (Tawbah Nasuha). You are required to make up for these two days (qada’). There is no expiation (kaffarah) upon you, except for the day you broke your fast by engaging in sexual intercourse. The expiation for intercourse is ordered: freeing a slave, and if you are unable, then fasting for two consecutive months, and if you are unable, then feeding sixty poor people. The make-up fasts and the expiation are immediately obligatory. Your wife must make up for the fasts (qada’), and according to the most preponderant opinion, there is no expiation upon her. You must also feed one poor person for each day you delayed making up (qada’) without a valid excuse until the next Ramadan began, unless you were ignorant of this ruling.
