Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Salim?
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. Combining kissing and touching the private parts, O Shaykh. Kissing may cause desire more than touching the private parts, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : And what is the difference?
The Shaykh : This is the issue raised by Brother Abdullah.
The questioner : I did not hear.
The Shaykh : He says: If touching the private parts is for the sake of desire, why do we say that it invalidates the ablution, when we say that if one touches his wife for the sake of desire, the ablution is not invalidated?
We say: Because the command regarding touching the private parts has come, so the command is understood to apply when it is for the sake of desire. As for touching a woman, whether by kissing or direct contact other than the private parts, no command has come regarding it.
The questioner : Kissing, O Shaykh. Specifically regarding kissing, if a man kisses his wife, it may arouse more desire than?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. But as long as nothing has been emitted, the ablution is not obligatory.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad. O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and this established prayer.
So what comes out of the private parts is two things: a subject whose ruling is one, and a predicate. That is, this classification comes after that.
