Ramadan 2024 Rules: Ramzan, the holy month of worship of Allah, has started. During the month of Ramzan, Muslims keep fast, offer namaz and also pay zakat, fitra etc. During this entire month, people spend their time worshiping Allah and seeking forgiveness for their sins.
In this holy month, Allah is worshiped by strictly following all the rules and regulations and keeping one's self under control. If the rules are not followed, the fast may be broken and fiddah or kaffarah may have to be done.
Many people are unable to understand many small things while fasting, due to which many questions arise in their mind. Many people are confused about whether it is permissible to kiss during fasting or not, whether it is permissible to swallow spit or not? Let us know the answers to these questions here.
Rules of kissing during fasting
In Islam, sex or masturbation during fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is considered haram. By doing this the day opens up. If you do this intentionally or even by mistake, you have to atone for it, which is called Kaffaara. As far as kissing your partner is concerned, keep in mind that kissing or hugging does not break the fast, but the motive behind hugging or kissing should not be sexual intercourse.
If during kissing or hugging you develop a desire to have physical relations then your fast can be broken, hence avoid kissing or hugging during the fast. Masturbating, ejaculating or watching porn also breaks the cycle.
If your intention of kissing your husband or wife while fasting is not to have sexual intercourse, your fast will not be broken. But if your partner's saliva (spit or saliva) goes down your throat while kissing, your fast may be broken. Therefore, keep this in mind while kissing your partner. If you want, you can express your love to your partner anytime between the start of Iftar till Sehri.

Taking another person's saliva breaks the fast. For this reason, one should not kiss one's partner during the fast. One should also avoid having physical relations.
One should also avoid having physical relations. The main purpose of fasting is to help people control their desires. Swallowing essential substances like saliva does not break the fast. You should know that there is no harm in swallowing your own saliva and doing so will not break your fast.
