If the compulsion is not legally recognized, and the wife breaks her fast by means other than sexual intercourse, then she is only required to make up the fast (qadaa'), according to the majority of scholars. Similarly, if she breaks her fast through sexual intercourse, she is only required to make up the fast. However, it is more cautious for the wife to offer expiation, providing expiation for each day, according to the more preponderant opinion.
