The Effect of the Discharge of Pre-seminal Fluid on the Fasting of the One Who Is Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid for the one who is fasting, whether it occurs through looking or through direct contact?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not break the fast of the one who is fasting; the correct view is that it does not break the fast, whether it is due to looking or touching. Some scholars said that it breaks the fast, like urine, but the correct view is that it does not break the fast. He should clean himself, wash his private parts and the tip of his finger, and perform the ablution for prayer if he intends to pray, or perform tawaf, or touch the mushaf. It does not invalidate the prayer.
