The Ruling of the Shari'ah on One Who Masturbates During the Day in Ramadan!!

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I am a young man, and Satan led me astray during the day in Ramadan, so I used my hand, even though I know that ejaculation requires making up the fast, and I am the one who ejaculated using my hand. What is Allah's ruling regarding me?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : He says: May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : O young man. When you asked about Allah's ruling regarding you, we want young men who are
when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sinsإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ
[Ali 'Imran 3:135]
, and they returned to those they consult, and we tell you that by doing this, you have broken your fast, so you must repent to Allah from this act, which is forbidden in fasting and in non-fasting. Indeed, the act of using the hand, which is called the secret habit, is forbidden whether in fasting or in non-fasting, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wivesوَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6]
or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - (7) But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:6-7]
meaning that whoever seeks pleasure from his private parts other than with his wife or his right of possession, those are the transgressors, that is, the wrongdoers who go beyond what they should be upon. So you must now seek forgiveness from Allah the Mighty and Majestic for this forbidden act that occurred from you, and for breaking the fast without an excuse, and you must make up this day.
