Here I want to ask a question about the atonement (<em>Kaff\u0101ra<\/em>)  of Fast. My Question is that can a boy and a girl who are unmarried  kiss and lie together during fast? What if they touch private parts?  What will be the punishment and atonement (Kaff\u0101ra) of such acts?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Fast is broken if someone enters sexual intercourse, eats or  drinks. Any act that is intended to arouse and satisfy sexual  gratification is included in sex. We are talking about sexual relations  with legitimate life partners. Therefore, kissing and foreplay  invalidates the fast even when carried out by married couple. This act  committed by unrelated male and female adds other sins to breaking the  fast. <\/p>\n<p>Then there is also the essence of the worship ritual. The spirit  of the fast is not to stay hungry. It demands the sense of worship alive  in one. It would therefore not be possible for one to engage in acts  which negate and confront the very foundation of the worship. Therefore,  we can say that people going as far as oral sex and foreplay should not  be considered engaged in the worship ritual at the same time. They  should make up for the fast if they intend to repent. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6125\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hope you are fine and enjoying the blessings of Allah Almighty.
