1. The expiation for breaking the fast due to intercourse is to: free a slave; if that is not possible, then one must fast for two consecutive months; if he is not able to do that, then he must feed sixty poor persons. 2. If the wife willingly obeys her husband in having intercourse while fasting, the more correct view is that she is obliged to offer expiation. 3. If the woman is obliged to fast for two consecutive months, and she starts to fast but then her menses comes, then that does not interrupt the sequence of her fasting. 4. The excuse of menses does not mean that the obligation to make up that day or offer expiation is waived. 5. There is nothing wrong with sending the expiation to your original homeland. 6. There is nothing wrong with you delegating a trustworthy charitable organisation to feed the poor on your behalf.

Dry cupping does not break the fast of one who is fasting, for dry cupping does not involve extracting blood from the fasting person, therefore the process which causes the fasting person to become weak is not present.
