Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, if a man touches his wife while fasting and does not have intercourse, does that affect his fast?

The Shaykh : It does not affect it, but he is advised not to linger around that.

The questioner : Even if he ejaculates, he owes nothing?

The Shaykh : Yes, as long as he did not have intercourse.

The questioner : Is there a conclusive piece of evidence?

The Shaykh : The evidence is the absence of prohibition!

The questioner : The absence of prohibition?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : All right, Shaykh, they say that Aisha said:
Narrated Anas: The hair of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to hang down up to his shoulders. أنَ النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - كان يباشرني وهو صائم
Sahih al-Bukhari 5903
!

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner :
And which of you can control his desire وأيُّكم يملك إربه
Is this correct?

The Shaykh: Correct.

The questioner : And he was fasting?

The Shaykh : It is in al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
