Clarification of the obligatory acts of ritual purity after caressing one's wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q70: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on caressing one's wife without ejaculation? Does it make the full ritual bath obligatory?
A70: If ejaculation did not occur, and he only caressed her, then the full ritual bath is not obligatory for him. However, pre-seminal fluid may be emitted, in which case he needs to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), wash the affected area, and perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer); because the emission of pre-seminal fluid invalidates the wudu'. As for the impurity, it is to be sprinkled with water.
