If the illness permits breaking the fast, then no expiation () is required for intercourse during the daytime in ; only making up the day is obligatory. However, if the illness does not permit breaking the fast, then expiation is required for intercourse, which is the freeing of a slave. If that is not possible, then fasting for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do that, then feeding sixty needy persons.
