If the marriage contract has been concluded but consummation has not yet occurred, there is no harm in touching. (ritual bath) is only obligatory due to ejaculation or īlāj (intercourse, which is the concealment of the glans). Mere touching without īlāj does not necessitate ghusl by the consensus of jurists.
