Title: Does fondling ones wife invalidate one's fast?

Question

During fasting (Ramadan) if mazi comes out while fondling with ones wife does that invalidate the fast?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.

If one fondles with one’s wife while fasting and mazi comes out, then one’s fast is not invalidated. [1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

و لا معني لعدم الانزال عن شهوة المباشرة (بحر الرائق، ص 272، ج 2)
