The Shaykh : Okay, what is the evidence that the emission of pre-seminal fluid through kissing, embracing, and the like does not invalidate the fast? Because some scholars hold that if pre-seminal fluid is emitted, the fast is invalidated, so we need to address this opinion. Yes, from...

The Shaykh : The evidence.
The questioner : The evidence is that it breaks the fast.
The Shaykh : The evidence is the absence of evidence. How is it the absence of evidence? The absence of evidence that it breaks the fast means there is no evidence that the emission of pre-seminal fluid from a person breaks the fast. We have now found evidence that semen breaks the fast, but we do not find evidence for pre-seminal fluid. If we do not find evidence that it breaks the fast, what is the status of the fast? The fast is valid, remaining on the original ruling.
