A woman was sexually aroused by her husband during a day of Ramadaan, which made her wet. She does not know if she came or if it was something else that came out. She does not know how many days this happened.
-
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is permissible for the spouses to be intimate with one another, so long as they are certain that there will be no emission of maniy, because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (1927) and Muslim (1106) from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (S) used to kiss and touch (his wife) when he was fasting, but he was the most able of you to control his desire.
If a man is intimate with his wife without having intercourse, then one of the following two scenarios must apply:
1 – That this intimacy leads to emission of maniy. In this case the fast is invalidated and the one who emitted maniy must make up that day.
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said inal-Majmoo’(6/349): If he kisses her or is intimate with her, without having intercourse, or he touches a woman’s skin with his hand or otherwise, if he emits maniy then his fast is invalidated, otherwise it is not. The author ofal-Haawiand others narrated that there was scholarly consensus that the fast of one who kisses his wife or is intimate without having intercourse and ejaculates is invalidated. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If a man is intimate with his wife by touching or kissing the face or touching the private part (without having intercourse) and he ejaculates, then his fast is broken, but if he does not ejaculate then the fast is not broken. End quote.
Al-Sharh al-Mumti’(6/388).
2 – If that intimacy results in emission of madhiy, in this case the fast is not invalidated.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If a man kisses his wife and is intimate with her without having intercourse whilst fasting, all of that is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to kiss his wife when he was fasting, and he would be intimate with her whilst he was fasting. But if a man fears that he will fall into that which Allaah has forbidden because he is easily aroused, then it is makrooh for him to do that. If he ejaculates then he must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and he must make up that fast. But he does not have to offer any expiation according to the majority of scholars. As for madhiy, it does not affect the fast according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, because the basic principle is that the fast remains valid and is not invalidated, and because it is too difficult to avoid it. And Allaah is the Source of strength. End quote.
Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz(15/315)
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about a man who was intimate with his wife when he was fasting, and he emitted madhiy; what is the ruling on his fast?
He replied: If a man is intimate with his wife, and he emits madhiy, his fast is still valid, and he does not have to do anything according to the scholarly view which we regard as correct. That is because there is no evidence to suggest that this breaks the fast, and it is not valid to compare it to maniy, because it is less than it. This view which we favour is the view of al-Shaafa’i and Abu Haneefah, and it was favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) who said inal-Furoo’: It is more correct. And he said inal-Insaaf: It is the correct view. End quote.
Majmoo’Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen(19/236).
For more information please see the answer to question no. 37715.
Thirdly:
If a man is confused in this case and is not sure whether what has come out of him is maniy or madhiy, in most cases it is probably madhiy, because madhiy is that which is emitted when one is intimate, and the fast cannot be judged to have been spoiled on the basis of mere conjecture.
And Allaah knows best.

General Dought clear, - * Does inserting a catheter into the patient’s body to drain urine invalidate the fast?

Does inserting a catheter into the patient’s body to drain urine invalidate the fast?
-
Praise be to Allah
Inserting a catheter into the patient’s body to drain urine and waste from his stomach does not invalidate the fast, because that does not come under the heading of food or drink, and it is not akin to food or drink.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The Lawgiver has only forbidden us to eat or drink – i.e., during the fast – so whatever takes the place of food or drink comes under the same ruling as food and drink, and whatever is not like that and does not come under the heading of food or drink in terms of wording or meaning, the ruling on food and drink cannot be applied to it.
End quote fromMajmoo‘ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-‘Uthaymeen(19/205)
He also said:
If a person inserts a scope into the stomach until it reaches it, then that breaks the fast – i.e., according to our madhhab.
But the correct view is that it does not break the fast, unless there is some oil or the like on this scope that reaches the stomach by means of this scope, in which case it does break the fast, and it is not permissible to use it during an obligatory fast except in cases of necessity.
If a person had an opening in his stomach, and something entered his stomach through this opening, then according to our madhhab his fast would be broken thereby, just as it would be broken by a deep stab wound.
But the correct view is that the fast is not broken thereby, unless this opening is made in place of the mouth, so that food and drink enter through it, in cases of oesophageal blockage, ulcers and the like, in which case whatever enters through it breaks the fast, just as if it entered through the mouth. This is the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah. End quote fromash-Sharh al-Mumti‘(6/370).
Shaykh Sulaymaan al-Maajid (may Allah preserve him) said:
Catheterisation means inserting a tube into the urethra for various medical purposes. It does not break the fast of one who is fasting, because it is not food or drink, and does not come under the heading of other things that break the fast.
And Allah knows best.

Ramadan spl Article, Dought & clear, - * Her husband engaged in foreplay with her in Ramadan, and she let him have intercourse with her so that he would break his fast and be sinning! Did she break her fast with this intention?

There is a woman whose husband engaged in foreplay with her after Fajr in Ramadan, and she said to him: Leave me alone so that I do not break my fast. But he persisted despite her request. Then she turned her back on him and ignored him, and she said to herself: Let him do whatever he wants, so that my fast will be broken but he will take the sin. And after she said that to herself, he left her alone and did not do anything. But when she thought that, her only intention was that he alone should take the sin, and she did not intend to break her fast or to eat or drink. I am afraid that what I thought may be a cause of my fast being spoiled, if I truly intended to break the fast because of that, or it was a mere thought.
I hope that you will give a detailed reply about the nature of my intention to break the fast for this reason, or was it mere thoughts.
Also, sometimes I am faced with waswaas concerning my intention or the validity of my fast, so please advise me.

Praise be to Allah
Firstly:
If a person intends to break his fast whilst he is fasting, and has decided to do so, and is not hesitant about it, his fast is rendered invalid according to the correct opinion, even if he changes his mind about that intention, and he has to make up that day.
But if he is hesitant about breaking the fast, or makes it conditional upon something, such as if he says: If I find food or drink, I will break my fast, then he does not find anything, in that case his fast is still valid.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
A man was travelling and fasting in Ramadan, and he intended to break his fast, but he could not find anything with which to break his fast. Then he changed his mind about that intention and completed the fast until Maghrib. Is his fast valid?
He replied:
His fast is not valid and he has to make it up, because when he intended to break the fast, he broke the fast. But if he had said: If I find water, I will drink it, otherwise I will continue my fast, and he did not find water, in this case his fast is still valid, because he did not definitely intend to break it; rather he made breaking the fast conditional upon the availability of something, and that thing did not become available, so his original intention remained in effect.
End quote fromLiqa’ al-Baab al-Maftooh(29/20).
What appears to be the case is that what happened with you is the latter: in other words, you made breaking the fast conditional upon your husband continuing with this matter, which he did not do. Intending to break the fast is one thing, and making it conditional upon something that did not happen is something else, on which the ruling is different.
Based on that, your fast is valid and you do not have to make it up.
But if you did intend to break the fast, or you think it most likely now that this was your intention, then your fast was invalidated and you have to make up that day.
If you feel something like that in your heart and you want to be on the safe side and fast another day to make up for that day, then this is good, in sha Allah.
See the answer to question no. 95766.
But if you are usually affected by waswaas regarding your intention or the validity of acts of worship, then do not repeat the fast of that day, and assume that it was valid. Beware of getting carried away with waswaas, for this leads to much trouble and evil, and will not stop until it spoils a person’s worship and his religious commitment as a whole.
There have been many answers on our website that warn against getting carried away with waswaas.
Secondly:
If a man is able to control himself and prevent himself from getting carried away and transgressing the limits of Allah by having intercourse or ejaculating, then it is permissible for him whilst fasting to engage in intimacy with his wife by embracing her, kissing her and so on.
See the answer to question no. 49614.
Thirdly:
It is not permissible for a woman to try to make her husband fall into a haraam action, or to approve of that. Rather what she must do is stop him and prevent him from doing that to the best of her ability. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” Narrated by Muslim (49).
Letting your husband do that, without trying to stop him, so that he would do something forbidden, commit sin and be exposed to the punishment of Allah in the month of mercy is a haraam aim and striving to make someone commit an act of disobedience to Allah, or approving thereof. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The one who sees someone eating or drinking in Ramadan, and knows that he is fasting, should remind him, because if he forgot then he is excused, but you did not forget. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety)” [al-Maa’idah 5:2].
Al-Liqa’ ash-Shahri(70/44)
If this is obligatory with regard to all people, then how about if it is one’s husband? Undoubtedly in this case it is even more obligatory, and his rights over you are more emphasized.
So you must repent and seek forgiveness, and not do such a thing again. You should be the best helper to your husband in matters pertaining both to this world and the hereafter, therefore if you see him committing a sin or wanting to commit a sin, you should tell him not to do that and remind him of Allah.
And Allah knows best.
