What is the ruling on a man who has intercourse with his wife while fasting and does not ejaculate, then prays without

Question : Well, a man had intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan and did not ejaculate.

Answer : I think that intercourse without ejaculation is permissible. He did not perform ghusl and prayed without performing ghusl. He came to us while fasting and asked us, saying: I am asking you now about two things. First, is my prayer valid or invalid? Second, is my fast valid or invalid? Because, brothers, we apply this rule: His prayer is not valid because he left off what is obligatory, or is it not valid because he did not commit a prohibited act and is excused? Is that correct, brothers? Correct, okay. We say: As for his fast, it is valid. Why? Because he committed a prohibited act. As for his prayer, it is not valid because he left off what is obligatory, which is the ghusl. So he must perform ghusl and repeat the prayer, and his fast is valid.
