What is the ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid during the day in Ramadan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the ruling on fasting if pre-seminal fluid is discharged during it, with evidence for that?
Answer : Pre-seminal fluid or semen? Pre-seminal fluid, yes. If a man touches his wife by kissing or embracing and discharges pre-seminal fluid, his fast is valid and is not invalidated by it, because there is no evidence that the fast is invalidated by the discharge of pre-seminal fluid. And if there is no evidence, the obligatory course is to keep the matter in its original state. We have a principle, which is that what is established by a legal proof cannot be lifted except by a legal proof. However, if he discharges semen, it invalidates his fast, and he must make up the day and abstain for the rest of that day, but there is no expiation in it, because the expiation is only for intercourse.
