The ruling on a fasting voluntary person caressing his wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who caresses his wife while he is fasting a voluntary fast on Mondays and Thursdays?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to do so; because this leads him to corrupting his fast through desire, either through intercourse or through ejaculation, so he should avoid the means that lead him to corrupting his fast. In the Qudsi Hadith, Allah the Exalted says regarding the fasting person that he left
his desires and his food and drink for My sakeشَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي
Muwatta Malik 18:64
