Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the nights of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the keepers of their secrets. God knew that you used to betray your souls, and He has redeemed you, and has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse with them, seeking what God has permitted for you. You may eat and drink until the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night at dawn. Then, you shall fast until sunset. Sexual intercourse is prohibited if you decide to retreat to the masjid (during the last ten days of Ramadan). These are God’s laws; you shall not transgress them. God thus clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may attain salvation.
أُحِلَّ لَكُم لَيلَةَ الصِّيامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلىٰ نِسائِكُم هُنَّ لِباسٌ لَكُم وَأَنتُم لِباسٌ لَهُنَّ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُم كُنتُم تَختانونَ أَنفُسَكُم فَتابَ عَلَيكُم وَعَفا عَنكُم فَالـٰٔنَ بٰشِروهُنَّ وَابتَغوا ما كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُم وَكُلوا وَاشرَبوا حَتّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الخَيطُ الأَبيَضُ مِنَ الخَيطِ الأَسوَدِ مِنَ الفَجرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيامَ إِلَى الَّيلِ وَلا تُبٰشِروهُنَّ وَأَنتُم عٰكِفونَ فِى المَسٰجِدِ تِلكَ حُدودُ اللَّهِ فَلا تَقرَبوها كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ ءايٰتِهِ لِلنّاسِ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ
