Can you have Sex during Ramadan? Is it okay if we have Sex at night and then take a bath before completing the sahor? Many questions like these recur in your mind. Here is a detailed answer based on the opinions of some religious scholars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you have Sex during Ramadan?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

About can you have Sex during Ramadan? Intercourse during Ramadaan is prohibited for both men and women, who must fast throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is a sin for which a sacrifice (kafaarah) must be made.<\/span><\/p>\n

If this is not feasible, the kafaarah is to release an enslaved person; if this is not possible, the person must fast for two months; if this is not possible, the person must feed sixty poor people.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: while we were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), a man came to him and said, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cO Messenger of Allaah, I am doomed!\u201d He said, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI had intercourse with my wife when I was fasting [in Ramadaan].\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you able to free a slave?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cNo.\u201d He said, \u201cAre you able to fast for two consecutive months?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cNo.\u201d He said, \u201cCan you feed sixty poor persons?\u201d <\/span>He said, \u201cNo.\u201d Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) remained silent for a while, and while we were like that, a large vessel of dates was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).<\/span><\/p>\n

And he said, “Where is the one who was asking?” He said, “Here I am.” <\/span><\/p>\n

He said, “Take these and give them in charity.” <\/span><\/p>\n

The man said, “Is there anyone poorer than me, O Messenger of Allaah? For there is no household between the two Harrahs (lava fields \u2013 i.e., in Madeenah) that is poorer than my household.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) smiled until his eyeteeth could be seen, then he said, \u201cFeed it to your family.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
