Is it permissible for a man to derive pleasure from his wife by placing his penis between her thighs from behind and ejaculating without penetration, while she is observing an obligatory fast, and is this considered coitus?

A woman's fast is not invalidated merely by her husband touching her without penetration, unless she discharges semen, in which case her fast becomes invalid. A husband's fast is invalidated by ejaculation if he is fasting.
