What is the ruling on intercourse during the daytime in Ramadan without the husband knowing the type of expiation, and does feeding sixty poor people have to be on one day, and what is its value?
Whoever has sexual intercourse during the day in , while aware of its prohibition, is obligated to offer expiation (). This expiation is performed in sequence: first, freeing a slave; if unable, then fasting for two consecutive months; if unable, then feeding sixty poor people. The amount to be given to each poor person is one mudd of food (750 grams), or half a saa‘ of the predominant staple food of the locality. It is not required to feed them on a single day. The majority of jurists do not permit paying the monetary value of the food, whereas Abu Hanifa and Ibn Taymiyyah permitted it for the sake of convenience. Its value is calculated by multiplying the price of 750 grams of the predominant staple food of the locality by sixty.
