No Intimate Relations while Fasting
Narrated Abu Huraira: A person had sexual relation with his wife in the month of Ramadan (while he was fasting), and he came to Allah’s Apostle seeking his verdict concerning that action. The Prophet said (to him), “Can you afford to manumit a slave?” The man said,”No.” The Prophet said, “Can you fast for two successive months?” He said, “No.” The Prophet said, “Then feed sixty poor persons.” (Bukhari, 6396)

Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)." The Prophet said to him, "Manumit a slave (as expiation)." He replied, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet said, "Then fast for two successive months." He said, "I cannot." The Prophet said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." He said, "I have nothing to do that." In the meantime a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet . He said, "Where is the questioner." The man said, "I am here." The Prophet said (to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)." He said, "O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I give it to poorer people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina’s two mountains poorer than us." The Prophet smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said, "Then take it." (Bukhari)
