Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man masturbated during the day in Ramadan without intercourse, which is called the secret habit; is he required to pay a heavy expiation?
Answer:
He must make up the fast and repent to Allah. As for the expiation, it is for the one who had intercourse in the private parts. This has passed you by: the one who had intercourse in the private parts is required to pay it. As for the one who had intercourse in other than the private parts, he does not owe an expiation; he only owes to make up the fast, yes, along with repentance to Allah, yes.
