Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner asks: Do the preliminaries of intercourse have a fidyah like intercourse does?
The Shaykh : Perhaps the answer to the question can be understood from what we have previously explained. The preliminaries of intercourse carry a fidyah, because the preliminaries of intercourse include caressing, touching, and the like. Which category does its fidyah fall under? It falls under the fourth category, which involves the choice between three things. Yes.
