Is touching, kissing, hugging wife permitted while in fasting?
Answer:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla of Umar ibn Ubaydullah that A'isha bint Talha told him that she was once with A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and her husband, who was fasting, came and visited her there. (He was Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Bakras-Siddiq.) A'isha said to him, "What's stopping you from coming close to your wife and kissing her and joking with her?" He said, "Can I kiss her when I am fasting?" She said, "Yes." MALIK MUWATTA[BOOK 18: HADITH 18.5.16 ]Hafsa (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) kissed (his wives) while fasting. SAHIH MUSLIM [BOOK 6: HADITH 2448]
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) used to kiss (his wives) while fasting and embraced (them) while fasting; but he had the greatest mastery over his desire among you. SAHIH MUSLIM[BOOK 6 : HADITH 2439]
Thus it is clear from the above narrations that touching, kissing, & hugging wife does not invalidate or decreases the value of your fast in the sight of Allah. And Allah knows the best. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK
