Entering part of the penis in the wife's vagina in the daytime in Ramadan thinking that this is not sexual intercourse
Q 1:
In Ramadan, I was newly married and I indulged in foreplay with my wife after the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer. I would enter
a part of my penis in her vagina with her assent. We did not ejaculate but we were pleased with that. I do not remember how many times this happened; perhaps three or four. What is the ruling on that and what should I do? May Allah protect you.
A:
If the reality is as mentioned in the question, it is Wajib (obligatory) on you to pay the Kaffarah (expiation) of sexual intercourse during the day in Ramadan. If the sexual intercourse took place on separate days, it is Wajib on you to offer Kaffarah for the number of days in which you had sex and you have to make up for these days. If you had sex on one day but frequently and you did not offer Kaffarah for the first time of sex, it suffices to observe one Kaffarah for all of them and to make up for (Part No. 9; Page No. 252) that day. It is noted that inserting the penis or a part of it in the wife's vagina invalidates Sawm (Fast) and requires a Kaffarah even if there is no ejaculation. It is Wajib on your wife to offer the same Kaffarah and make up for the days because she was willing. The expiation is to emancipate a Muslim bondman. If you do not find one or if you are unable to do it, you have to observe Sawm for two consecutive months, that is, sixty days. If you cannot do that due to some illness or old age, you should feed sixty poor people, giving each one half a Sa` (1 Sa`=3 kg. Approx.) from the staple food of the country. You are also required to offer Tawbah (repentance to Allah) for that.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
