Caressing the wife during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
During Ramadan, I caressed my wife, and during the caressing, I felt desire, so I held myself back and stopped. Do I owe anything? And if this act broke my fast, do I owe any fasting or making it up?
Answer:
If desire came out of you, you must make it up. If desire came out of you and you ejaculated, releasing semen, you must make it up. But if nothing came out of you, your fast is valid. However, you must avoid caressing your wife as long as the desire is strong. Avoid this; do not caress her. Yes.
