Is
wife required to pay kaffaarah
if she had sexual intercourse with her husband during the
day in Ramadhaan
*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
A man had sexual intercourse with his wife during the day
in Ramadhaan and (as such) he has fasted the penalty (kaffaarah)
of two months consecutively. So, is there anything required
of his wife or not? May Allaah reward you.
Response:
In the name of Allaah and all Praise is for Allaah (alone).
That which is required of her is similar to that which was
required of him (her husband) if she willfully consented and
was not forced. If it is difficult for her (to fast two consecutive
months), then she may feed sixty poor and needy people the
amount of half a saa'
per poor and needy person. However, if she was coerced with
force and severe beating, nothing is required of her. Rather,
the sin is (solely) upon him (her husband). If she was complacent
with him, then she is required to pay the penalty (kaffaarah)
similar to him - like for like.
