Summary
Intimate contact between husband and wife during the day in Ramadan is disliked (makruh), because it may spoil the fast, arouse desire and lead to intercourse. The act in itself does not invalidate the fast, but if it causes the emission of semen, the fast is broken and the person is sinful. He must still refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day and must make up the fast later.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ia tidak membatalkan puasa, tetapi jika mencium dan mencumbui menyebabkan keluarnya mani, maka dia berdosa dan puasanya batal
