Al-Baqarah 2:187

Word by word

أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ ٱلصِّيَامِ ٱلرَّفَثُ إِلَىٰ نِسَآئِكُمْ ۚ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ ۗ عَلِمَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنكُمْ ۖ فَٱلْـَٔـٰنَ بَـٰشِرُوهُنَّ وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ ٱلْخَيْطُ ٱلْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْطِ ٱلْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ ٱلْفَجْرِ ۖ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلصِّيَامَ إِلَى ٱلَّيْلِ ۚ وَلَا تُبَـٰشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنتُمْ عَـٰكِفُونَ فِى ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدِ ۗ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are a clothing for you and you are a clothing for them. Allāh knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allāh has decreed for you [i.e., offspring]. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night [i.e., sunset]. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allāh, so do not approach them. Thus does Allāh make clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that they may become righteous.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

أباح الله لكم في ليالي شهر رمضان جماعَ نسائكم، هنَّ ستر وحفظ لكم، وأنتم ستر وحفظ لهن. علم الله أنكم كنتم تخونون أنفسكم; بمخالفة ما حرَّمه الله عليكم من مجامعة النساء بعد العشاء في ليالي الصيام -وكان ذلك في أول الإسلام-، فتاب الله عليكم ووسَّع لكم في الأمر، فالآن جامعوهن، واطلبوا ما قدَّره الله لكم من الأولاد، وكلوا واشربوا حتى يتبَيَّن ضياء الصباح من سواد الليل، بظهور الفجر الصادق، ثم أتموا الصيام بالإمساك عن المفطرات إلى دخول الليل بغروب الشمس. ولا تجامعوا نساءكم أو تتعاطوا ما يفضي إلى جماعهن إذا كنتم معتكفين في المساجد; لأن هذا يفسد الاعتكاف (وهو الإقامة في المسجد مدة معلومة بنيَّة التقرب إلى الله تعالى) . تلك الأحكام التي شرعها الله لكم هي حدوده الفاصلة بين الحلال والحرام، فلا تقربوها حتى لا تقعوا في الحرام. بمثل هذا البيان الواضح يبين الله آياته وأحكامه للناس; كي يتقوه ويخشَوْه.
