حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاَقَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُقَبِّلُ فِي شَهْرِ الصَّوْمِ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَحَفْصَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ فِي الْقُبْلَةِ لِلصَّائِمِ فَرَخَّصَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْقُبْلَةِ لِلشَّيْخِ وَلَمْ يُرَخِّصُوا لِلشَّابِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ لاَ يَسْلَمَ لَهُ صَوْمُهُ وَالْمُبَاشَرَةُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَشَدُّ . وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ الْقُبْلَةُ تَنْقُصُ الأَجْرَ وَلاَ تُفْطِرُ الصَّائِمَ . وَرَأَوْا أَنَّ لِلصَّائِمِ إِذَا مَلَكَ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ يُقَبِّلَ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَأْمَنْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ تَرَكَ الْقُبْلَةَ لِيَسْلَمَ لَهُ صَوْمُهُ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 727
This kissing while fasting hadith reports from Aishah that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would kiss during the month of fasting. The text is short, but the Arabic comments add an important note: scholars differed about kissing for a fasting person, and some allowed it for those who could control themselves while advising caution for those who feared for their fast. The hadith should not be used to ignore self-control, because the same passage mentions fear that the fast may not remain safe. So the core topic is not only affection; it is affection with restraint during fasting. A simple reading is that kissing itself is mentioned, but the fasting person must be honest about control and risk.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is reported to have kissed during the month of fasting.
- The surrounding note connects the issue with self-control.
- A person who fears harm to the fast should be careful.
- The hadith should not be turned into permission for every risky form of desire.
