What is the ruling on intercourse with a sleeping woman concerning the fast?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Fasting
Primary text
Intercourse with a sleeping woman necessitates making up the fast (Qada) but does not require expiation (Kaffarah). This is established by analogy to the case of a woman forced into intercourse, and it is affirmed by the ruling attributed to Imam Ahmad in this regard.
Supporting text
Al-Shafi'i and Abu Thawr hold that if a man has intercourse with a sleeping woman, her fast is not invalidated. A narration from Imam Ahmad via Ibn al-Qasim suggests no Qada is required because no action originated from her.
