“I wrote a letter to Abil Hassan Al-Kadhim (MGB) and asked about a man who makes love to a woman ten times - whether it be legitimate or not - on one of the days of the month of fasting - Ramazan.

There are three ranks, three expiations, three noxious things and three saving things. As for the ranks, they are to spread peace, to feed with food and to pray at night while people are asleep. As for the expiations, they are to properly perform Wudu during cold mornings, to walk during night and day to congregations and to maintain prayers. As for the noxious things, they are to obey avarice, follow desire and an individual’s admiration of himself. As for the saving things, they are to fear Allah in secret and public, to be economic during wealth and poverty and to say the word of justice during satisfaction and anger.

I asked: "What if he engages in intercourse with her before offering expiation?" Imam (as) replied: "Then he has violated one of Allah's (swt) limits. He must seek Allah's (swt) forgiveness and abstain until he fulfills the expiation."
