Is what was reported concerning Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi true, that whoever ejaculates (not with his wife) in Ramadan must offer expiation – in addition to making up the day – by analogy with one who has intercourse with his wife during the daytime in Ramadan?
The action in question does not necessitate expiation (kaffarah) according to the majority of jurists, in contrast to the
Malikis who obligate both make-up (qada') and expiation (kaffarah) for it. The relied-upon opinion for fatwa is that of the majority.
