If sexual intercourse occurs or semen is ejaculated during daylight hours in , even without intercourse, the fast is invalidated. In the case of intercourse, both making up the fast (qada') and a severe expiation (kaffara mughalladha) are required, along with repentance (tawba). However, if ejaculation occurs without intercourse, only making up the fast and repentance are required. If it was only foreplay without intercourse or ejaculation, then the fast is valid, and no making up is required.
