Kissing while fasting
Question
Regarding the love-bites, will the sucking etc. break the fast or the fast will only be broken if it (kissing, love-bites etc.) leads to one having relations with ones spouse?
Answer
Since this action (kissing, love-bites etc.) generally leads to intercourse, it should be avoided in the state of fasting.
