Summary
A person who first breaks the fast and then has intercourse during the day commits a forbidden act and is sinful, but kifarah is not imposed. By contrast, a person who invalidates a Ramadan fast through intercourse during the day commits a forbidden act, is sinful and is liable for kifarah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang yang berbuka dahulu kemudian berjimak disiang hari perbuatanya adalah HARAM, dan BERDOSA tetapi tidak dikenakan kifarah.
