Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if a man caresses his wife and releases pre-seminal fluid, what is the ruling if he is fasting?
Answer:
He made a mistake in this. If he cannot control himself or his desire, then it is obligatory for him to stay away from his wife and not caress her, fearing that he will invalidate his fast. If semen comes out of him, meaning he releases semen, his fast is invalid and he must make it up. But if only pre-seminal fluid comes out of him, this pre-seminal fluid does not invalidate the fast; however, it is a means to invalidating the fast. So the fasting Muslim should avoid caressing his wife and being close to her if he fears for himself regarding desire.
