Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O esteemed Shaykh, if a man plays with his wife and ejaculates, does his fast remain valid or is it broken?
The Shaykh : We have mentioned that this invalidates the fast and it is obligatory for him to make it up, and it is not permissible for him to eat or drink for the rest of the day. This is if the person is a resident. However, if he is traveling, there is no blame on him. That is, if a person is traveling with his family and they are fasting, and then he has intercourse with his wife, or kisses her, or enjoys her until he ejaculates, he owes nothing because he is a traveler and it is permissible for him to break his fast, even without an excuse. Yes.
