What is the ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid during the day in Ramadan due to desire?

Question:
What is the ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid at the end of Ramadan due to desire, such as playing with one’s wife, while being ignorant of the ruling? I do not know the number of those days, and this was in the previous Ramadan.

Answer:
The correct view is that the discharge of pre-seminal fluid does not invalidate the fast; rather, it is the discharge of semen that invalidates it. The discharge of semen due to desire invalidates the fast, but as for the discharge of pre-seminal fluid, the correct view is that it does not invalidate the fast. However, a person should avoid the means that lead to the invalidation of his fast, such as repeated looking and having intercourse with his wife if he fears that desire will overcome him. He should avoid these matters, for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says in the Holy Hadith: Yes.
