Did Sheikh Al-Albani mean that masturbation during the daytime in Ramadan is permissible, or did the questioner misunderstand his intent from his saying that it is permissible for a man to fondle and kiss his wife until he ejaculates during the daytime in his fasting day?

The madhhab of Shaykh Al-Albani is that it is permissible for a fasting person to engage in direct physical contact (mubasharah) as long as ejaculation does not occur, citing as evidence the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to engage in direct physical contact while he was fasting. Al-Albani is of the view that fasting is not invalidated by the emission of semen through direct physical contact, thus differing from the general consensus of the scholars. Despite this, Al-Albani advises avoiding direct physical contact, especially for those with strong desires, as a preventative measure to block the means (saddan li al-dhari'ah) and out of fear of falling into sexual intercourse.
