Question:
This man asks: Is masturbation one of the things that invalidate fasting? Is it one of the things that invalidate fasting? And if he does it, what does he do? And the prayer is flying. What is its description?
Answer:
Masturbation, which is the emission of semen due to playing with the penis, where one masturbates with his hand, manipulating his penis until the semen is emitted, is forbidden and is never permissible on any day, because this is using the private parts in a way that Allah the Exalted has not made lawful.
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-7] Allah has not made masturbation lawful except through intercourse with one’s wife or a slave one owns, and anything other than that is forbidden. You must guard your private parts from this. If it happens while you are fasting, it invalidates the fast. If it happens from you while you are fasting, it invalidates the fast. If it happens from you while you are not fasting, you have committed a sin. If it happens while you are fasting, you have committed a sin and the fast is also invalidated, and it is more severe. So whoever does this must repent to Allah and leave this bad habit. He said: Mishkat al-Masabih 3080 Sunan an-Nasa'i 3208Sahih (Darussalam) He did not say to masturbate. He said to fast. For it has a basis. Because fasting weakens desire. Fasting weakens desire. And it treats this matter. As for masturbation, it is forbidden and not permissible. And if it happens while he is fasting, his fast is invalidated.

Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - (7) But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَGod’s Messenger as saying, “Young man, those of you who can support a wife should marry
صلى الله عليه وسلم يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج اللي يستطيع تكاليف الزواج يتزوجand whoever cannot then he should fast
ومن لم يستطع فعليه بالصوم.
