If the wife who is compelled by the husband to have sex in the day in Ramadhaan what is upon her?

السؤال :

رجل يريد أن يجامع زوجته في نهار رمضان ، فهل تطيعه أم تمنعه ؟ وإن تمكن منها بغير رضاها فماذا عليها ؟

The Question:

A man wants to have sex with his wife in the day of Ramadhaan, so should she obey him or prevent him?  And if he overpowers her without her consent and agreement then what is upon her?   

الجواب:

الله المستعان ، يجب أن تدفعه دفعا ، وتستخدم كل ما أوتيت من قوة لصده ورده عنها ، فإن تمكن منها فهو يأثم وهي لا شيء عليها ، والكفارة عليه وحده ، أما إن كان برضاها فكلاهما عليه الكفارة ، بعد التوبة والاستغفار إلى الله - تعالى - ، واللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

The answer:

Allahu musta’aan! (Allah’s help is sought!), it is obligatory that she repels his request, and she must employ all of what is befitting of her strength to prevent him, but if he overpowers her then he has sinned and there is nothing upon her, and the expiation is upon him alone, however, if she was in agreement with it then the kaffaarah (expiation) is upon both of them, after that taubah (repentance) and istighfaar (the seeking of forgiveness) are due to Allah-Ta’aala-, and Allah Ta’aala knows best.
