The Effect of Caressing One's Wife on the Fasting of the One Who Is Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), many of the brothers ask: If a man caresses his wife while he is fasting and then ejaculates, does that affect his fast?
Answer:
The correct view is that it does not affect it; the correct view is that it does not invalidate the fast. Only semen invalidates it if it is emitted due to desire. As for pre-seminal fluid, it is not excused in such a way that it invalidates the fast; because people are tested with this, and there is no evidence that it invalidates the fast. However, he must wash his private part and perform the ablution for prayer.
