What is the ruling on one who touches his wife's genitals without penetration during the daytime in Ramadan?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Your fast is valid as long as there was no penetration and no seminal fluid was discharged. The discharge of pre-seminal fluid (madhiy) does not invalidate the fast, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. It is permissible for a fasting person to caress his wife, kiss her, and engage in foreplay with her if he is confident that he will not discharge seminal fluid or engage in intercourse.
