The answer

Whoever invalidates their fast by intentional sexual intercourse must offer expiation, which is to fast two consecutive months. The duration of the two months is calculated by the lunar calendar, and it may be 58, 59, or 60 days. If the one performing expiation fasts for 60 days, then they have completed their expiation correctly.
