What is the Kaffarah for deliberately breaking the fast through marital relations in Ramadan?
Explanation
The Kaffarah (expiation) for marital relations during a Ramadan fast is: (1) Free a slave — if unable, (2) Fast 60 consecutive days — if unable, (3) Feed 60 poor people. This is the most severe expiation.

Hint
This is the only fast violation that requires Kaffarah (heavy expiation), not just Qada.
