The questioner : Al-Nawawi says that touching with desire while in the state of ihram is forbidden. Is that so, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is so, because the state of ihram is more severe than fasting. Look at the marriage contract; it is forbidden in the state of ihram, because perhaps with the contract, a person might become bold and something might happen.
The questioner : Do you mean merely touching with desire?
The Shaykh : Yes, with desire.
