What is the ruling of Islamic law concerning a deceased husband who had intercourse with his wife 14 times during the daytime in Ramadan without her consent, and are his heirs obligated to pay a financial expiation on his behalf?
A dream does not entail a legal ruling, nor does it establish a debt upon the deceased. If it is confirmed that the deceased had intercourse with his wife during Ramadan, he is liable for expiation, which is: freeing a slave, or fasting for two consecutive months, or feeding sixty needy persons. This expiation is to be paid from his estate. If intercourse occurred multiple times on the same day without expiation, a single expiation is required for that day. However, if intercourse occurred repeatedly on multiple days without expiation, some scholars are of the view that the expiations overlap, and a single expiation is due for all of them, while others maintain that an expiation is required for each day.
