Does an erection of the male organ during the daytime in Ramadan, whether pleasurable or not, invalidate the fast, and what is its ruling?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mere erection of the penis during a day does not invalidate the fast, whether it is with pleasure or without pleasure, even if it results from foreplay or if (pre-seminal fluid) is discharged from it. The relied-upon opinion is that the criterion for arousal of desire is the fear of ejaculation.
