The questioner : He says:The questioner : What do the honorable scholars say about a man who has two wives, one of whom is menstruating and the other is fasting the obligatory fast, and he is likewise, meaning during the day of Ramadan
The Shaykh : And he is also fasting
The questioner : Yes, he is fasting
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Meaning during the day of Ramadan, and he is unable to suppress his desire. Should he turn to masturbation by hand, or should he have intercourse with the one who is fasting, knowing that he is afflicted with the disease of excessive lust?
The Shaykh : The address or question is directed to the honorable scholars, so it seems he means you, the ones present. Who knows the answer? He has two wives, one is menstruating and not fasting, and the other is fasting the obligatory fast, and he himself is afflicted with the disease of excessive lust, may Allah protect us. He cannot help but release what is in him. So what should he do? Should he have intercourse with the menstruating woman, the fasting woman, or masturbate? What do the honorable scholars say?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Okay, rest. This is one of the honorable ones. The second honorable one.
The student: He should have intercourse with the menstruating woman in a manner other than vaginal intercourse.
The Shaykh : Okay, this is the opinion of another honorable one who says he should have intercourse with the menstruating woman in a manner other than vaginal intercourse. Sit down, no one is to speak. Come, the third honorable one, stand up, my brother, stand up. What is it?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Have intercourse with the fasting woman?! You are not an honorable one, my brother. Okay, come, stand up.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : I am the one who says the honorable ones, the plural of honorable. It appears that the answer of this honorable one is the correct one, and it is the brother, what is his name? Muhsin. Okay, that he should have intercourse with the menstruating woman in a manner other than vaginal intercourse. This is because having intercourse with the menstruating woman in a manner other than vaginal intercourse is permissible. So if he does this, he has only invalidated his own fast. As for the woman he had intercourse with without vaginal intercourse, it did not happen, meaning it was not a cause for something forbidden for her. But if he had intercourse with the fasting woman in a manner other than vaginal intercourse, for example, the woman might release fluid while she is fasting, which would invalidate her fast. If he had intercourse with her vaginally, as said by the one who made himself an honorable one but did not reach the rank of honor, that he should have intercourse with the fasting woman, this is very far off. This opinion is not valid.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, absolutely, leave him alone.
The questioner : It is permissible to have physical contact with the fasting woman.
The Shaykh : But there is a fear that she might release fluid, and if she releases fluid, her fast is invalidated. If the menstruating woman releases fluid, there is nothing wrong, there is no harm.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The best of these answers is from the honorable jurists, the answer of the brother Muhsin, that he should have intercourse with the menstruating woman in a manner other than vaginal intercourse. And the issue of excessive lust, my brothers, do not think that the intensity of desire, excessive lust is a disease and an illness. As soon as a person feels desire, his testicles swell and fill with fluid, may Allah protect us, until this comes out of him. It is a disease, a severe disease.
