Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and mentioned that he had been ruined. The Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about his matter, so he mentioned that he had intercourse with his wife during Ramadan (while fasting). A container was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him), which was called 'araq.' It contained dates. The Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired: Where is the man who has been ruined? That person stood up. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Give this as charity.
