I see right okay these are the kind self kind of questions that have to keep a straight face on arm strength okay the question the answer that look the Ola my in general do not say that intimacy per se breaks the fast okay doesn't now what it can lead to may but this in this question specifically they said well there was no penetration but
some of the ala ma because they've kind of I think master he's really eager trying to you are they some some gestures you trying to share with us so the point is that because simply some people have some of the olam around upon things like this more than others it's some people have said that well because if you allow if people start indulging in intimate behaviors and one thing will lead to another and many people will not be able to refrain so they'll just go the whole the whole way so you won't really in out that
the brakes won't be as sharp I'm afraid so the thing is in that case they've been super strict on some massages so some people have said what about things like pre-seminal fluid and on that sometimes you find even some of the Maliki have been very strict in saying well you know they should make up their fast even if that is if there's a missions of that in my understanding it's not that these things per se break the fast in my understanding but it's the kind of strictness that they were pointing to to kind of make people
refrain from such from indulging in such behaviors that could lead to other matters not almost this is my understanding people may disagree with that and I am aware that the general fatale were that they give the general rulings they say even pre-seminal fluid that's what the Maliki or the others do not say that they say only either penetrative action or ejaculation is what necessitates making up the fast but generally this is something that the orlimar save if you avoid it it may be better otherwise it
doesn't per se just being intimate doesn't actually violate the fast in any way okay there's that that answer your question muster say okay any other gestures you want to make from this okay good
