Ruling On Husband And Wife Playing While Fasting - Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid
I have a question concerning fasting, during the
fast is it permissable to say I love u to a husband,
My husband asked me to say it during fast and I said
to him that it is not permissable, he said it is
allowed?
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with a man playing with his
wife, or a wife with her husband, by saying words
while fasting, on the condition that there is no
danger of either of them climaxing. If there is the
danger that they may reach climax, as in the case of
one who has strong desires and who fears that if he
plays with his wife his fast may be broken by his
ejaculating, then it is not permissible for him to do
that, because he is exposing his fast to the risk of
being broken. The same applies if he fears that he may
emit prostatic fluid (madhiy). (al-Sharh al-Mumti’,
6/390).
The evidence that it is permissible to kiss and play
with one’s wife, if one is sure that there is no risk
of reaching climax, is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari
(1927) and Muslim (1106) from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be
pleased with her) who said: “The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to kiss and
touch (his wives) while he was fasting, and he was the
most in control of his desires.’” In Saheeh Muslim
(1108) it is narrated from ‘Amr ibn Salamah that he
asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), “Can a fasting person kiss (his
wife)?” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said, “Ask her” – meaning Umm
Salamah – and she told him that the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
used to do that.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him)
said: “With regard to things other than kissing that
may lead to intercourse, such as embracing and the
like, we say that the ruling on them is the same as
the ruling on kissing, and there is no difference
between them.” (al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 6/434).
Based on the above, your simply saying to your
husband, “I love you,” or his saying that to you, does
not affect your fast. And Allaah knows best.
