The Ruling on Masturbation During Fasting and Its Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does masturbation invalidate the fast? And if it does, what is the expiation for it?
Answer:
Yes, masturbation is forbidden, even when not fasting; it is not permissible. In fasting, it invalidates the fast, making the act forbidden and the fast invalid. If something comes out of him as a result of the masturbation—if semen is ejaculated—then his fast is invalidated. He must repent to Allah and make up this day. Will he not return to such an act? Yes.
