The ruling on sleeping with one's wife and kissing during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a man who sleeps in the same bed as his wife during the day in Ramadan without intercourse, and some physical contact occurs? And what is the ruling on kissing?
Answer:
A Muslim should stay away from the causes that affect his fasting. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), as you heard in this hadith, left his desire, his food, and his drink. He left his desire; he started with the desire.
So he stays away from his wife to avoid the causes that might lead him to fall, because a person is human and weak, so he stays away from her. But if he touches her without intercourse, this does not invalidate his fast, but he should fear that what invalidates the fast might happen to him, and that his self might weaken and he might have intercourse with his wife, because he did the thing that brings him close to that. He should stay away, but merely sleeping with her, or kissing her, or touching her without having intercourse, this is a sin, but his fast is valid. Yes.
