The ruling on a fasting man kissing his wife and its effect on the fast

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, does a wife's saliva break the fast due to kissing?

Answer:
Kissing one's wife does not break the fast unless it is accompanied by ejaculation. If it is accompanied by ejaculation and the release of desire, it breaks the fast. However, if none of that occurs, it does not break the fast, but there is a distinction to be made. If it does not break the fast, there is still a distinction regarding the one who fears that his desire may be aroused. If he kisses, he should not kiss like a young man or a strong man.
As for the elderly man who does not fear the arousal of desire, there is no harm in him kissing his wife, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss his wives while fasting, because he was in control of his desire. That is, he did not fear the arousal of desire. This is part of the relationship between the spouses; it is not a kiss of desire, but rather a kiss of companionship and cohabitation. Yes.
