Kissing and fondling during Sawm

222

Q 3: Does kissing one's wife during the day in Ramadan without having sexual desire break Sawm (Fast)?

A: When a fasting person kisses his wife, this does not break his Sawm. This is because the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to kiss his wives while he was observing Sawm. However, if anyone fears that his sexual desire may be aroused, he should not kiss his wife so as to keep his Sawm away from anything that might render it invalid.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
