Scratching Your Private Parts Will Not Break Your Fast in Ramadan
C.J Ahmed-10.04.2023
Scratching the privates is a normal thing and there is no evidence whatsoever to prove that if you scratch your private parts, it will nullify your fast durig Ramadan. You can engage in any activity while fasting including sex and the following hadiths proves it,
Narrated by Aisha (Rali), “The prophet (Sal) would have sexual relations when he was Fasting, and would place a cloth between him and her, meaning over the private part.”
(Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Khuzaymah in his Saheeh. Its Isnad is Good (Jayyid)).
In another hadith,
“He (the Prophet, Sallallaahu alayhi wa Sallam) used to kiss when fasting, touch when fasting, and was the most in control of his desires”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others).
The above hadiths prove from the actions of the prophet (Sal) that kissing or engaging in sexual activities is not haram while fasting. These hadiths prove clearly that doing anything and even sex even if you ejaculate semen or other female secretion, would not invalidate the fast and there is no kaffara for this. If having sex is halal while fasting, there is nothing wrong in scrating your privates as well. Touching or Scratching your private parts with your bear hands ill not break wudu.
Narrated Talq bin ‘Ali (rali):
A man said: “I touched my penis” or he said, “Does a man who touch his penis during the prayer should perform Wudu (ablution)?” The Prophet (sal) replied, “No, it is only a part of your body”. (Bulugh al Maram and reported by Al-Khamsa-Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic)).
.
Narrated Talq:
“We came upon the Prophet of Allah (sal). A man came to him: he seemed to be a bedouin. He said: Prophet of Allah, what do you think about a man who touches his penis after performing ablution? He (sal) replied: That is only a part of his body.(Abu-Dawud-Graded Sahih by Albani)
