Q: During ramadhaan, whilst fasting I got intimate with my wife. We did not have actual relations at first but satisfied one another using our hands. i.e: I made inzaal. And satisfied her using my hands. However after that before iftaar, thinking that our fasts are already broken, we ate food and we had actual relations. Will kaffaarah become binding or only qadha? I am studying aalim course and I know what I did requires a lot of reformation and taubah but from what I understand, there will only be qadha in this case and no kaffaarah. Please advise.
A: If there was ejaculation when using your hands then your roza had broken. If it was that there was no ejaculation and you had relationship after that, you will have to make qadha as well as kaffarah.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
