Alqamah and his companions set out for Hajj. Someone said: A fasting person can kiss (his wife) and can also lie with her. One of them, who had spent two years in residence and was diligent in fasting, upon hearing this said: I have intended to take my bow and strike you with it. Alqamah said: Refrain from discussing this issue until we reach Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Eventually, all those people presented themselves before Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and inquired about this issue. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss and have intimacy while fasting; however, he (peace and blessings be upon him) had more control over his desires than all of you. The companions said: Abu Shibl! Now ask Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) yourself. But he said: Today, I will not engage in such conversation at her place. Then they asked the question, and Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss and have intimacy while fasting.
