Answer By Dr Zakir Naik,While fasting if a husband kisses the wife or hugs the wife or shows his love for the wife by kissing on the cheek or the lip or the hand or hugs or embraces all these things are permissible as long as it does not encourage him to go into an act which is Haraam for fasting. And this is very well stated in the Hadith of Muhammad (saw),
It's mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, Vol. No. 3, in the Book of Fasting, Hadith No. 1927, that, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) she says that
"The Prophet used to kiss and embrace his wives while fasting. But he was the best amongst you to control himself."
That means the Prophet had the power to control.
Similarly it's mentioned in Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. No. 2 (Book of Fasting), Hadith No. 2379, that, "Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once while he's fasting kisses his wife, immediately he feels sorry and he goes to the Prophet and he says that, "Oh Prophet I've sinned. I've sinned against you and Allah" So Prophet says "What have you done?", he says, "that while fasting I've kissed my wife." So the Prophet asks him, "that when you gargle or rinse your mouth while doing wudhu, does your fast break?" So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) he said, "No". "So why bother?."
Indicating to him that you can kiss and embrace your wife.
Furthermore there's a Hadith which is mentioned in
Musnad Ahmad, Vol. No. 2, Hadith No. 6739, one of the Sahaaba he narrates that
"A young man comes to Prophet Muhammad (saw) and asks him that "Can I kiss my wife while I'm fasting?" The Prophet says, "No" Later on, an old man comes to the Prophet and asks him that, "Can I kiss my wife while fasting?" And the Prophet said "Yes". So the Sahaaba look among themselves that how come the answer is deferring? Then the Prophet replies that "This man can control himself"
So the basic ruling is that if a person knows that he can control himself after kissing or hugging his wife and he's sure that it will not lead into an act which will nullify the fast, for example it will not lead into a sexual intercourse, or will not lead into ejaculation, as long as he can control himself... kissing and hugging is permitted if he cannot control himself and he fears that he will go into the act which will nullify the fast like intercourse or ejaculation then it is prohibited for him
