Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Expiations that are due to an transgression committed by an individual, such as the expiation for ẓihār (a pre-Islamic form of divorce) or for sexual intercourse during the daytime in , must be performed immediately. However, expiations that are not due to an transgression, such as the expiation for breaking an oath, may be performed at leisure. Therefore, it is not permissible to delay the expiation for sexual intercourse during Ramadan; rather, it must be performed immediately.
