What is the ruling on a man who teases his wife while fasting and then ejaculates?

Question : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a man who teases his wife in Ramadan while fasting, and then ejaculates? Is his fast valid, and his wife's? And what is the expiation for that if it is not a habitual practice?
Answer : It is not permissible for a man to tease his wife while fasting if the fast is obligatory, whether in Ramadan or outside of it, if he knows from himself that he is quick to ejaculate, such that if he teases her, he will ejaculate. Because if he does that, he invalidates his fast. Therefore, the questioner who asked must make up that day, along with repentance to Allah and seeking forgiveness. And it is obligatory for his wife, if she was the one who ejaculated, that she must also make up that day. So if someone asks, what is the evidence that ejaculation breaks the fast?
And what is in the Book, meaning the Qur'an, is that what breaks the fast is only intercourse. We said that ejaculation is a desire, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the Companions, and they said:Sahih Muslim 1006 So he called that the desire of semen. And in the authentic qudsi hadith, Allah the Exalted says: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3:27 And by that, we know that ejaculation invalidates the fast and necessitates making it up if the fast is obligatory. Yes.

is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.
أيأتي أحدنا شهوته ويكون له فيها أجر؟ قال أرأيتم إن وضعها في الحرام أكان عليه وزر؟ فكذلك إذا وضعها في الحلال كان له أجرHe leaves his food and drink and his desire for My sake.
يدع طعامه وشرابه وشهوته من أجلي
