Summary
Intimate contact with one's wife during the daytime in Ramadan is disliked to the degree of prohibition (makruh tahrim) for a person whose desire is aroused, whether male or female. This is the view of the Hanafi and Shafi'i schools. The fatwa also notes that Ibn Munzir reported that a number of companions and scholars allowed it. It is advisable to avoid acts that may lead to what the Shariah forbids.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Makruh secara tahrim bercumbu dalam bulan Ramadan dengan isterinya pada siang hari bagi orang yang syahwatnya bergelora sama ada lelaki atau perempuan.
