Is the ruling on deliberate masturbation in Ramadan the same as the ruling on intercourse during the day in Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the ruling on deliberate masturbation in Ramadan the same as the ruling on intercourse during the day in Ramadan?

Answer:
Its ruling is like the ruling on intercourse in that it invalidates the fast, but its ruling is not like the ruling on intercourse in that it requires an expiation. There is no expiation for it, but there is sin in it, and there is invalidation of the fast. So you must make up the fast for this day, along with repentance to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the expiation, it is not obligatory except for intercourse.
