Hadith 6821

If somebody commits a sin which is less than what deserves the legal punishment; and then he informs the ruler, no punishment is to be inflicted on him after his repentance to Allah if he comes to the ruler with the intention of asking for a verdict about his sin. And 'Ata said, "The Prophet did not punish such a person." Ibn Juraij said, "The Prophet 40 did not punish a man who had sexual relations with his wife during Ramadan."

6821. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A person had sexual relation with his wife in the month of Ramaḍān (while he was observing fast), and he came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ seeking his verdict concerning that action. The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" The man said, "No." The Prophet said, "Can you observe Saum (fast) for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then feed sixty poor persons."

6821 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَقَعَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ، فَاسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَجِدُ رَقَبَةً» قَالَ: لاَ، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ صِيَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ» قَالَ: لاَ، قَالَ: «فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا»
