Chapter on Making Up the Month of Ramadan, and the Ruling of One Who Breaks the Fast in It Intentionally and Forgetfully, and One upon Whom Fasting Two Consecutive Months Is Obligatory and He Breaks the Fast during Them, or upon Whom There Is a Vow Regarding Fasting

Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from a number of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Mahbub, from al-Harith ibn Muhammad, from Burayd al-Ijli, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: (Imam عليه السلام was asked) regarding ‘a man who came (intimate relations) to his wife on a day that he was making up from the month of Ramadan.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “If he came to his wife before the decline of the sun, then there is nothing upon him except a day in place of a day. And if he came to his wife on a day after the decline of the sun, then upon him is to give charity to ten poor persons. If he is not able, he fasts a day in place of a day, and fasts three days as an expiation for what he did.”
