If Riyadh is your place of residence and you intended to fast, then both of you must make up the missed days. The major expiation ( kubra) is incumbent upon the husband, and scholars differ as to whether it is incumbent upon the wife if she consented. However, if your trip to Riyadh was for a purpose and you did not intend to stay for four full days, then you are considered travelers, and there is no expiation upon either of you; only making up the missed days is required. It is obligatory for a Muslim to preserve their fast and to know that the sanctity of is immense.
