What are they Required to Do?



Question (no. 55): A man returned from a long journey and met his wife making up her missed fast of Ramadan, but he was unable to control the recalcitrance of his soul; so he had intercourse with her without her pleasure. What are they required to do?

Response: What is obligatory upon the man is to turn to Allaah in repentance and that is by feeling remorse over what has occurred from him and to make a resolve not to return to it again out of veneration to Allaah and fear of His torment

As regards the woman, if she was compelled, there is nothing upon her and her fast his valid.  But if she was tolerant toward him, she is required to make up that day and to turn to Allaah in repentance; but there is no expiation upon her.
