Ask an Alim

Kaffara

Q:

I was not fasting due to sickness and my wife was also not fasting due to periods, but intentionally I forced her into foreplay and ejaculated in daytime. Should I am entitled to kaffarah or any punishment? (we were both not fasting on that particular day) please give the best answer.

A:

Bismillah ArRahman ArRaheem
Wa-Alaykum As Salaam

The assumption is the question falls in the month of Ramadhan, as it would have no significance outside the month of Ramadhan unless you have made a vow, for example, to fast a particular day and was unable to due to the illness.  *Either way, as you were both unable to fast due to a legitimate reason, there is no punishment or kaffara in this insistence Insha-Allah.*
