The ruling on Kissing for the fasting Person
Question :
If a young man or an elderly man kisses his wife while he is fasting has he committed a sin?
Answer:
The fasting person has not committed a sin by kissing his wife, regardless of whether he is a young man or an elderly man. This is due to what is recorded in Sahih Muslim that 'Umar bin Abu Salamah asked the Prophet: "Does the fasting person kiss?" The Prophet said:
"Ask this woman (meaning Umm Salamah).”
So, she told him that the Prophet would do that. Then he ('Umar bin Abu Salamah) said: "O Messenger of Allâh! Verily, Allâh has forgiven you for your earlier and latter sins." Then the Prophet said:
"By Allah, verily I am more pious regarding Allah (ie., His Laws) than you all and I fear Allah more than you all."
