It is well known that whoever has intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan has to free a slave or fast two consecutive months or feed sixty poor persons.
My question is:
1- If a man has intercourse with his wife more than once on a number of days, does he have to fast two months for each day, or is two months sufficient to expiate for all the days on which he had intercourse?
2- If he did not know that this ruling applies to the one who has intercourse with his wife, and he thought that for each day that he had intercourse with his wife he had to make up just one day, what is the ruling in this case?
3- Is the wife subject to the same ruling as the husband?
4- Is it permissible to pay money instead of giving food?
5- Is it permissible to feed one poor person on behalf of himself and his wife?
6- If he cannot find a person to feed, is it permissible to give money to one of the charitable organizations such as Jam’iyyat al-Birr in Riyadh or another charity?.
