Is fasting two consecutive months, starting from the second day of Eid al-Fitr until the day of Arafah, considered an expiation for conjugal relations with one's wife during Ramadan?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The expiation for intercourse during a day is similar to the expiation for ẓihār: it is the freeing of a slave. If one cannot find a slave, then it is fasting for two consecutive months. If one is unable to do that, then it is feeding sixty poor people. Since freeing a slave is now impossible, the obligation is discharged by fasting for two consecutive months without breaking the fast.
