بَابُ كَفَّارَةِ مَنْ جَامَعَ فِي نَهَارِ رَمَضَانَChapter: Expiation for One Who Has Intercourse During the Day in Ramadan
Hadith 3823
اُردوEn
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا أَفْطَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً أَوْ يَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man broke his fast in Ramadan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to free a slave or a bondwoman, or to fast for two months, or to feed sixty needy people.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In other narrations, these three things have been mentioned in order; in this hadith, the word "aw" (or) is for division, not for choice.
Its meaning is that in this hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Free a slave or a bondwoman, or fast for two consecutive months, or feed sixty needy people. But in other narrations, it is mentioned that he (the Prophet) said to him: Free a neck (slave). When he said that he did not have the ability to do so, the Prophet said: Fast for two consecutive months. When he expressed his inability to do that as well, the Prophet said: Feed sixty needy people. Thus, if someone has intercourse during the days of Ramadan, he should free a slave; if he does not have the ability, then he should fast for two consecutive months; if he does not have the ability for that either, then he should feed sixty needy people. These are the expiations (kaffarah), that from these three actions, he should perform whichever one he is able to do. (Abdullah Rafiq)
