Does fasting the remainder of Ramadan count towards the sixty days of atonement for intercourse during Ramadan, or must the atonement begin after the month of Ramadan ends?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The expiation for intercourse during the daytime in is freeing a slave. If one is unable to do so, then it is fasting for two consecutive months. If one is unable to do that, then it is feeding sixty poor people. It is not permissible for the expiation to be fasting during Ramadan, and it is obligatory to perform it immediately after Ramadan, unless it is feeding or freeing a slave.
