Dear Stemians.
One of the phenonema that occurs in our society, especially in families who lack understanding of religious issues, is the violation of the provisions, including when fasting. One is to have intercourse during the day. In fact, according to rumaysho.com site, having sex during the day when fasting not only cancel the fast. But it also makes the perpetrator exposed kiffarat / kaffarah or punishment, ie freeing or liberating a slave. If there is now no slave, or can not afford the cost of a very high slave, kaffarahnya 2 months of fasting without a pause. And if you can not afford it either because it is old or there is a health problem, it is necessary to feed 60 poor people.
In reality, however, there are cases of intimacy perpetrated by coercion and even violence. For example, a husband forced his wife to serve during the day. If that happens, how is the law?
According to Ustadz Ammi Nur Baits, in konsultasisyariah.com, said that in principle, the wife must refuse, because there is no obedience in immorality. However, if powerless, then there are two opinions. First, the majority of scholars, saying that the wife's fasting is void, but he is obliged to replace (qadha) in the other day. Only, there is no obligation to pay kaffarah. Second, a more minority opinion, the wife's fasting is not void, no need to make a prayer and do not have to pay kaffarah.
However, according to Ustadz Ammi Nur Baits, the first opinion is stronger, because it is embraced by the majority of scholars. But, of course you can choose one of the opinions mentioned above. What about her husband? Of course it is clear, he is not only obliged to pay kaffarah, but also sin because it has forced the wife to do disobedience, so should beristighfar and repent a lot.
