What is the ruling on one who kissed a girl who was a stranger (non-mahram) to him in Ramadaan, and does he have to make up the fast?


Praise be to Allaah.
 

Undoubtedly
this man who kissed a girl who was a stranger (non-mahram) to him has not
understood the wisdom and purpose behind fasting, because this man has
committed an act of falsehood. The Messenger (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does not give up speaking falsehood and
acting accordingly, and ignorance, Allaah has no need of him giving up his
food and drink.” If he did that and forced her to do that, then in this case
it was an act of both falsehood and ignorance, and he has failed to
understand the wisdom and purpose behind fasting and his reward is
diminished without a doubt, but according to the majority of scholars his
fast is not invalidated in the sense that we do not say that he has to make
it up.
