What is the ruling on a husband having intercourse with his wife during the daytime in Ramadan after her refusal and then submission, and what is the expiation for that if he is unable to fast two consecutive months or free a slave, and is the wife required to feed the poor if she is not working and does not have her own money?

Sexual intercourse during the daytime in Ramadan is one of the gravest nullifiers of the fast, and it necessitates expiation in the following order: freeing a slave, and if one is unable, then fasting for two consecutive months, and if one is unable, then feeding sixty poor people. This expiation is obligatory upon both the man and the woman equally. If a person is unable to perform any of these expiations, then it is waived for them. Mere fear of hardship in fasting is not considered an excuse for abandoning it; rather, it is essential to be genuinely unable.
