Results for intimacy by day - what is not allowed and what is?

If you mean sexual intimacy in Islam, intercourse is not allowed during the daytime in Ramadan while fasting, and if someone does that it is considered a sin and requires expiation (kafaarah).10 In general, though, intimacy itself is not banned by day outside fasting rules; many relationship guides even encourage daily emotional or physical connection at different times of day.127

What is not allowed in the Ramadan context:

  • Eating, drinking, or intercourse during the day while fasting.10
  • Any act that breaks the fast.10

What is allowed:

  • Intimacy after sunset and before dawn, within the fasting rules.10
  • Non-sexual connection such as check-ins, hugs, conversation, and affectionate gestures in everyday relationship advice.1719

If you meant “intimacy by day” as a relationship schedule rather than Ramadan rules, the sources point to daytime emotional connection, texting, brief calls, hugs, and check-ins as acceptable and often recommended.1719
