Invalidating the fast through intercourse

Answered by 

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Can you please advise me what should one do if he accidentally committed a sin by having a intercourse with his wife while fasting? While ago I heard from someone that there is a Hadith where Prophet(sws) advise the man to slaughter a sheep and feed it to the poor people. Can you please tell me what can I do in order seek forgiveness from Allah(swt).

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

1. Sincere repentance (search for that at www.sunnipath.com)

2. Making up the broken fast

3. Expiation, kaffara: explained in Lesson Two of The Essentials of Fasting and the accompanying texts (at www.sunnipath.com).

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
