What should a young man who broke his fast in Ramadan by sodomy—Allah forbid such a thing—and now wishes to repent, do to clear his conscience: should he complete the fragmented expiatory fasting, or what else?

If the act occurred before puberty, there is no expiation. If it occurred after puberty, then according to the majority of scholars, the perpetrator must repent and offer expiation. This expiation is fasting for two consecutive months. If unable to do so, then feeding sixty poor people. If still unable, the expiation remains a debt upon him until he is able to perform it. In addition to the expiation, he must make up for the day he invalidated. There is no difference between intercourse in the front or back passages according to the majority of scholars, contrary to one of the two narrations from Abu Hanifa.
