Rasulullah ﷺ said, “There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyaan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, ‘Where are those who used to observe fasts?’ They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it.” (Bukhari)

Kaffarah of breaking a Ramadhan fast without a valid excuse.

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reports that Rasúlullãh ﷺ was asked about a person who had intercourse [intentionally] with his wife during Ramadhān [while fasting].

Rasúlullãh ﷺ asked, “Can you find a slave [to grant him freedom]?” The man replied, “No.” Rasúlullãh ﷺ asked, “Can you afford to observe fasts for two [consecutive] months?” The man again replied, “No.” Rasúlullãh ﷺ instructed, “Then, feed sixty poor people.” [Bukhari]
