Sahih al-Bukhari 2497 (Book 51, Hadith 34)
said, “I had a sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting).” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked
him, “Can you manumit a slave?” He replied in the negative. He then asked him, “Can you fast for
two successive months continuously” He replied in the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked him, “Can
you feed sixty poor persons?” He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari came with a
basket full of dates. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the man, “Take it and give it in charity (as an expiation of
your sin).” The man said “Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?
By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina’s two mountains poorer
than we.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) told him to take it and provide his family with it.”
