Silsilah as-Sahihah 878 — Ruling on kissing wife while fasting

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a young man came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Can I kiss (my wife) while fasting? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Then an old man came and said: Can I kiss (my wife) while fasting? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." We began to look at each other (because of this difference), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the old man can control himself."
