THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Ramadan
Written by Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen   

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- Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam- Does the Fasting person kiss? The Prophet- Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam- said: Ask this women(meaning Umm Salamah). So, she told him that the Prophet- Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam- would do that,Then he (Umar bin Abu Salamah) Said: O Messenger of Allah! Verily, Allah has forgiven you for your earlier and latter sins. Then the Prophet- Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam- said: By Allah, verily I am more pious regarding Allah (i.e. His Laws) than you all and I fear Allah more than you all. [1]
