it is corrupted. Al-Khiraqi and Abu Bakr chose this. This is the opinion of Ata', al-Hasan, al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, Malik, and Ishaq, because it is an act of worship corrupted by intercourse, so ejaculation resulting from physical intimacy corrupts it, like fasting. The second narration is that the Hajj is not corrupted. This is the opinion of al-Shafi'i, the scholars of the school of opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y), and Ibn al-Mundhir, and it is the correct one, God willing, because it is enjoyment for which a hadd (prescribed punishment) is not obligatory by its nature, so it does not corrupt the Hajj, just as if he did not ejaculate. Furthermore, there is no textual evidence for it, no consensus, nor is it analogous to what has been explicitly stipulated; for intercourse in the frontal passage necessitates a hadd by its nature, and twelve rulings are attached to it, and the state does not differ therein between ejaculation and its absence. Fasting differs from Hajj in terms of what corrupts it; therefore, it (fasting) is corrupted by repeated gazing accompanied by ejaculation, madhy (pre-seminal fluid), and other prohibited acts, whereas Hajj is not corrupted by any of its other prohibited acts except sexual intercourse, so they differ. The woman is like the man in this regard if she has sexual desire; otherwise, there is nothing obligatory upon her, just like the man if he has no desire.

In summary, the ruling of a kiss is the same as the ruling of physical intimacy (mubashara) without intercourse, no difference. However, al-Khiraqi mentioned in this issue two narrations regarding the corruption of Hajj upon ejaculation, whereas he did not mention more than one narration regarding the corruption of Hajj for intercourse without the frontal passage. We have already mentioned that there are also two narrations regarding it, and we have mentioned the disagreement over it. However, we shall point to the distinction to substantiate the position of al-Khiraqi, and we say: It is ejaculation without intercourse, so the Hajj is not corrupted by it, like gazing. Also, pleasure from intercourse is greater than pleasure from a kiss, so it (intercourse) is higher in terms of the obligation; for the ranks of the rulings of enjoyment are in accordance with what
