The ruling on the discharge of pre-seminal fluid through kissing and caressing for the one who is fasting

Question:
He says: If a man kisses his wife and caresses her during the day in Ramadan and pre-seminal fluid is emitted, does this break the fast?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this matter if a man emits pre-seminal fluid due to a phone call or playful interaction. Some scholars hold that this breaks the fast, while others say it does not break the fast, but rather that he has committed a sin and made a mistake. He has sinned by doing so and must repent, and his fast remains valid. This is the stronger position, if Allah wills. However, he should avoid this; for Allah the Exalted says regarding the fasting person that he has left , leaving behind desire. This is the first thing mentioned: a person leaves his desire until he breaks his fast, then he may have intercourse with his wife on the night of fasting. This indicates that during the day of fasting, it is not permissible for him to engage in lewd speech, and lewd speech refers to intercourse and its causes.
