What is the expiation for someone who, after her husband's death, learned that he had intercourse with her during the daytime in Ramadan multiple times without her knowing of his grave sin, but with her awareness that it was impermissible without knowing the ruling? And is it permissible to take money in exchange for completing a transaction for a busy person, or for obtaining explicit orders to complete studies or obtain scholarships abroad due to the difficulty of getting them?

Whoever breaks their fast in Ramadan by sexual intercourse must make up for that day and offer expiation (kaffarah), which is: freeing a slave. If one cannot find a slave, then fasting for two consecutive months. If one is unable to do that, then feeding sixty poor people. For each day one breaks their fast by sexual intercourse, a separate expiation is due. This ruling applies to both the man and the woman who willingly complied.

Regarding taking money for following up on transactions, it is permissible if the money is in exchange for effort expended in following up on the transaction, without exploiting influence or engaging in bribery. However, if the matter requires exploiting influence or paying a bribe, then taking the money is not permissible. The same applies to obtaining orders for students to complete their studies or to receive scholarships: if this involves exploiting influence or bribery, then taking money for it is not permissible, as it leads to depriving those who are entitled.
