Must I fast for sixty days or feed sixty poor people after having intercourse with my wife in Ramadan during the first days of our marriage, knowing that a suckling buffalo was slaughtered and distributed to the poor?

The expiation for intercourse during the daytime in is obligatory in sequence, according to the of the Bedouin: it is the freeing of a slave. If that is not found, then fasting for two consecutive months. If one is unable to do that, then feeding sixty poor people. Slaughtering a calf does not substitute for feeding. And whoever's obligation is feeding, he must give each poor person one mudd (a measure of food) or dinner and lunch.
